I think this is a good and bad idea. This should be implemented in new player servers, but then negated in veteran to hardcore servers. Just like the idea of the new HUD this can help new players, but it takes away from the realistic nature that veteran and soon to be veteran players crave when they bought DayZ in the first place. Honestly I think DayZ isn't as active as it should be because it takes a lot of trial/error and dedication just to learn and get the feel for the game and because of this casual gamers and new gamers a like pull away from it. I think there should be starting servers that give a little more in depth HUD and explanation like this to boost players and after a certain amount of time played they can move to veteran and hardcore servers. Kind of like a tutorial. As an add I think they should add a map too in noob servers so people can learn the terrain. Just like if this apocalypse was real and this happened in real life, you were obviously already living/familiar with this entire region hence why you start there and would already have an idea of where to go and what the places are called ect. Just my piece of mind.
