If you are in the countryside, in the middle of nowhere, look for signs of civilization such as: a road, railroad, or power lines. Following them will always lead you to a town eventually. If you really need to find a town, use a high vantage point, like a hill, to scan for buildings. Don't expect to find a metropolis at the top of a mountain, either.

Look for notable landmarks. You can find many such [[Key Locations|places]] to help figure out where you are.

* '''[[Roads#Signage|Signs]]''' - Across Chernarus, there are many road signs indicating the direction and distance to [[Towns and Cities|towns]] from where the sign is located. If you are unsure where you are, simply match the name(s) on the road sign with the name(s) found on your map. Once you've determined what town you are in, you have a starting point to navigate elsewhere.

* '''[[Railroad]]''' - If you follow rail lines you will surely find a train station - often with the name of the town plastered right on top - and the town itself. It can also provide a point of reference to the coast.

* '''[[Power Lines]]''' - These can also be used as a way to navigate the countryside. The power network consists of a power plant in [[Elektrozavodsk]], [[Power Sub-Stations|sub-stations]], and high voltage transmission lines (the really tall ones!) which go across nearly the entirety of Chernarus. Following power lines is a sure way to eventually find a town if you are lost. If you can't find these, scan surrounding hill tops for cuts in the trees, as paths are cut straight through trees to accommodate power lines.
* '''[[Hiking Trails]]''' - Added in 0.63, hiking trails are a smart alternative for those who wish to avoid roads and get lost easily in the woods, or simply someone looking for a scenic route around Chernarus. physical bulletins of the terrain and posts pointing where the trails lead can be relatively easily found. The trails themselves are signified by thin, dark paths.
