Just wanna point out here if you want to learn map navigation from the comfort of your home you can play any number of SP or (preferrably SP) Arma games / missions with the magic floating markers and GPS turned off, some come like that by design especially in Arma 1 and 2. I can see sightlines out of topological maps
I would play Arma 3 just for a taste of the old bullshit I used to do when I get a yearning for a hit of nostalgia, but nothing beats really experiencing getting abso-fucking-lutely getting lost in the middle of a huge fuck-off forest in the middle of winter somewhere in the middle of Alaska for 18 is hours a day for several days in a row. Or whatever your local equivalent would be lol
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say getting absolutely lost in the wintery alaskan wilderness with no honed navigational skills is more of an advanced move
I survived and that's a fairly low bar concidering I'm me.
