Sons of the Forest players have been busy at work crafting while running around trying to survive amidst angry cannibals. One of the most interesting features the new game has to offer is its map system, which is included as a mechanic thanks to the GPS your character has following the helicopter crash opening sequence. While the map is incredibly useful, it can also be confusing as the game does nothing to do explain what the markers on it mean. Here is a quick guide on all Sons of the Forest map markers and what they mean to help you on your way.
