I know there's a digital version but early in the game it would be nice to just have a paper map that I can hold in my hand. I eventually realized to use the compass target but I often forget where I'm going or what is around me so having a paper map as a reference would be cool I think. The paper map doesn't have to do anything fancy just gives the player the opportunity to do compass/map orienteering.
Oh and to touch on a point made by NiCOVER a few posts ago, I also work in research and in field experiment sites. Maybe a day or two after learning the controls and the game loop I really felt like I was back in the lab fixing equipment and having to prioritize my tasks to maintain experiments but also prepare for upcoming ones all while putting out "fires" whenever things break or malfunction. I've never played a game that encapsulated this feeling and also make it fun.
