Besides Traveler’s Maps, the Gust Wind is useful for reaching objectives. To trigger the Gust Wind, swipe up on the touchpad of your controller. A gust of wind will blow in the direction you need to go, depending on the quest you are tracking or the destination you intend to go.

Finally, your Spyglass is your best friend when it comes to identifying landmarks. To compensate for the absence of a mini-map, you can use the Spyglass to locate where you need to go. Go to high ground and press up on the D-pad to bring out your Spyglass. Look around until the crosshair glows yellow. Select the location to mark it on your map so you can track it.

It is important to note that you cannot fast travel to a location identified with the Spyglass if you are going there for the first time. Make sure you have the right horse to get you where you need to go.
