Yay. Finally we have even in Zelda quest arrows that are pointing to the goal so we don't have to think anymore and can stare a t a red pointer instead of enjoying the scenery or exploring the world.

Aonuma is literally just referring to markers for where dungeons are on the map. You know, the ones that have been in literally every Zelda game since ALttP?

"and thus also [for] providing players with a constant hint on where to head to."

 A constant hint on where to go doesn't sound like a simple sights on a map. It's a single point of reference. Meaning a clear pointer of where to go next. If that pointer is now on a compass or a minimap or on the tablet is semantics.

Of course this is just interpretation. You might want to interpret it differently for yourself.

BTW, there was nothing literal in the entire post. All just theoretical ramblings.
