Surprised how much of this stuff wasn't already in the game. (Destiny)

I just use my player icon on the map which tells me exactly what I am facing toward. I guess a compass might make it easier, but land nav isn’t super hard in the first place I don’t think. The only map problems I ever have are due to verticals.

It's no hard; it's cumbersome. You have to open the map to orient yourself when a simple compass on the radar would be more effective and more elegant. That's my entire point: This is a minor oversight that is detrimental to the flow of gameplay. it's a very simple thing, that we already know the game is keeping track of, but that is not reflected in the default hud and which requires you to stop playing momentarily in order to orient yourself, despite a perfect directional UI element already in place within the HUD.
