Speaking as one of the people who are chronically lost (my son frequently has to help me out) the compass thing often hurts more than it helps. The problem is that dead-ends and "turn here stupid!" aren't marked on the mini-map.
What I'd really like is not a mini-map guide, but a line on the ground that I can follow. Anybody read "Ender's Game"? In the academy there were different colored lines that would light up in the hallway to guide you. That's what chronically lost people need. (I have a love-hate relationship with the world geometry. It's intentionally screwed up with mountains and walls to make the world feel bigger than it really is. I love the big feel, but I hate the fact I can be so close and still lost.)
