Honestly its been something I've liked more than previous games and don't have specific complaints about. The partial 3d perspective when moving around is a nice touch and useful to see if the site I want to go to is reachable if its on a mountain. It could use a little more ability to zoom out but I've liked it.
I've disabled the compass but still use the map to locate places I need to go and it works reasonably well for me.
