At least in the desert map, the "paths" drawn on the map seem meaningless (not visible in the world). I found my first flag simply by going in the right heading (after correcting for magnetic deviation) and going the expected distance (60 steps per 100 meters, I assume). I'm not sure that's how you're supposed to do land nav IRL... Also, there are decoy flags that aren't on the list. Edit: In the "forest" map the paths make sense but I'm pretty sure the map or flag coordinates are slighly off (with a flag being on a different side of a path than indicated by the coordinates).
