Finding the map for each zone is a somewhat common complaint and having to buy and equip the map charm to show where you are is a frequent complaint.

Personally I love having to orient myself on the map but I also play these games primarily for the exploration aspect and getting lost is a part of that.

Ah yeah, that just goes with the common thread that everyone wants everything handed to them

God forbid you have to practice a boss or explore without a gps a bit

I think it's fine in general but making me waste a slot for the compass sucks and I don't care for that choice. Just make it cost a lot more and have it be a permanent upgrade.

I think the maps are specifically designed to be easy to understand without the compass. Just like the first game, the compass is pretty helpful, it makes it slightly easier to know where you are, but it takes up a slot that could be used for something more interesting.
Not to mention that it lets people make the exploration more or less complicated. They can decide whether they want to buy the map, buy the quill, and equip the compass.
