Hi ! Thank you for taking the time to play my game ! I understand that the way the map works can be a bit confusing.
The most important bit of information is that you don't see the tile you are on but the tile that is in front of you. The left and right arrows make you turn without changing tiles. So if you are standing on a forest next to the sea, you will see the beach view. Hope this clears up things and you can enjoy the game ^^
