How long......

[Lionelpunishment1 2]

Does it take to run from one side of the map to the other ?

[Chamil 22]

WELL
Saying that you're all well fed and no longer thirsty, equipping no gun running in a straight line might take like thirty minutes depending on the surfaces you have to run over?
It really isn't that long to get to one side from an other.

The oriëntation without a compass is what makes you waste time.

Mate I've been runnin south on my compass for about an hour and there's nothing but trees I'm lost don't know wha to do

You seem to be in some deep shet there son

Are you sure you're running south? If you are then just keep going, you'll end up on the coast at some point lmao

Takes me likes 15 minutes to get from NWAF to Elektro, whats wrong with you son

All I can say is orientate from road to road, unless you basically know every town just like that it won't really help you

Start off at one point, use the dayz map, and keep moving from point to point

incase you didn't know this one yet:

Map orientation is really something you will have to learn.

 

Once ( I was pretty new to the game ) i started in Krasnostav, visited the NEAF, decided to run south and one hour later, i've seen another airfield. "NWAF?  Balota?, I thought...." Nah, it has been NEAF. I spent one hour to sprint a perfect circle. Pretty frustrating moment. :)

Lol, I use the in game map and compass all the time, and I've navigated from the South East, met up with some friends, led us to the NEAF, then to Devils Castle, then NWAF, then the military base below the NWAF, then all the way to Balota, to both Cherno and Electro, and then around again xD I've got navigation down to the T. It's fairly simple after a couple years of DayZ (Mod included of course)

12 inches. That is all you need to know.

No less than 15 minutes, usually not more than an hour. Depends on the terrain, if you stop to eat/loot. Generally about 30 minutes though.

 

Now, if you are in a barren wasteland with no trees or roads anywhere and a rather ugly repeating grassland.... You went afk running. Good luck as that goes on forever.

That's what I can see what does afk running mean am I best off turnin round ?

If u cant see any trees or rocks, or grass, just the terrain, you have gone off the map. Go back
