[Slim_Jim]

Use this online map

After a while you will come to know the map like the back of your hand, as many DayZ veterans do.
I've played for so long I don't need maps or compasses to know where I'm going.

Months ago it was easy to run this map in arma3 where you had working cars and helicopters.
So far as I know its not allowed by BI to use this map in Arma3.
It was very easy to learn this map this way but now you have to play the running simulator!

There is also a tool out there which I don't want to mention here...

By playing a lot you learn one step further

The easiest way to learn the map is to know Cheril or what its called now again.

Yes but you cant spawn them and also you need to find parts to repair them.

This is actually a very important thing. Read sign, find town on map, move on. I havent played in a few months up untill the other day and have yet to look at a map to see where i was going. Granted it took me about an hour to get where i wanted yesterday cause i got lost, but i still found it.

I like this moments, when i get lost running in the wrong direction for minutes and find out where i am to go back where i wanted to!
Run around, find your ways. Found this the other day:
