How to know location

"Go to Titania" ok but where the ♥♥♥♥ is Titania? I'm supposed to run across the map untill i starve multiple time until i explore anyting or what?

More or less. Ideally you'll also find a prospect that will tell you the general direction. Also, the region is divided in circular areas, and specific ports are always in specific radiuses from the center.

Well that's a an horrible gameplay design then, especially when this quest give no direction.

I'm glad actual captains didn't have to discovers the world on their own, my Amazon delivery would be quite late lol

The first voyage is basically, grab some prospects that you can use as guidance, then travel along that direction to find the port.
Note that, as I said, some ports will be closer to the center and others farther. But as a new player you don't know which ones are which.
Also, I don't know if this changed, but I read that, until you discover the port, when you exit the game and come back, the map is shuffled a bit so a port you were travelling to that hinted as being south-west, could now be south-east or something like that.

Welcome to playing a roguelike game about exploration and storytelling. Where step 1 is go explore.

And OG captians did. Then again in Sunless Sea things moved anyway.

And in sea we didn't have prospects to tell us the general direction, only the scout.

Grab prospects that are for Titania. This way you will get at least some hint like "It's south-west from Winchester" and then stick to that direction as much as you can and use your scouts.

What you are describing as a horrible mechanic is one of the main draws of this type of game for the people who enjoy these games. You might not like it, but others do.

What you're supposed to do is pursue multiple objectives concurrently and explore organically. Don't fix one destination/objective in mind at a time and single mindedly follow it.
