I've recentley started out in the game, loving it so far. Died a few times scouting out the local areas..

My question is how do i pinpoint my location, i've seen some of the maps on here! But how do i know where i am in relation to everything!

If you end up getting lost during the course of the game, the best thing to do is to look for some sort of landmark. You can usually pinpoint your location that way. Here's a helpful YouTube vid on that particular topic:
