Directional arrow

I've proposed this before but I'm going to repeat it...
I think there should be a way to trigger a directional arrow that's specific to an "area" instead of just a quest. The reason I suggest this is because of situations like the following:
I just finished the main story line in Azteca but still had a couple of side quests to finish, one of which was finding one last UFO in Twin Giants. The problem with this is that this type of quest, along with other "find it" quests, does not allow for the use of the quest arrow. Because of this, finding "areas" within a world can be challenging. There are typically no signposts and using the "N" key or the expanded map screen doesn't always give you an indication of which way to go. Unless you have traveled and re-traveled the path to a specific area it can sometimes be difficult to remember exactly how to get there especially if you use the Mark function often which I do.
I know it's not a big deal but it can be frustrating.

It's not really that hard from Azteca onward. There are teleporters to each area once you've made it to that area. Would be nice if they marked the teleporter globes on the map though. It would be useful when revisiting older worlds though. Finding areas for fishing in worlds you haven't played in ages and such can be real a pain.

Yeah, that's what I mean... there are the teleporters but you have to actually find them and be in close proximity to them to know where they go. Again, I know it isn't a huge problem but it can be time consuming. And actually, like you mentioned, finding fishing areas is one of the biggest problems along with some of the "hidden" TC vendors.
