Honestly that's why I wish most games would just completely do away with minimaps because you're exactly right. Minimaps let the designers be lazy when the correct answer is to actually put things in the world that let you know which way to go. Octopath Traveler did a great job of this by putting signposts at every crossroads, but then they still screwed it up by adding in a minimap. Witcher3 has to be one of the biggest failures here. They put all this detail and work into a living city like Novigrad, but provide 0 visual clues regarding how to find anything that you really are living in the minimap.
