I like the game, but navigating by clicking those arrows is so annoying. Most areas are shown from a different viewpoint, so when you go in a particular direction oftentimes you get turned around. So when you try to go from a specific room to the main entrance of the house, you're zigzagging around 3-4 rooms.
The Gym is done the best in regards to navigation. You can pick where you want to go from a board, and there's always a 'back' arrow that takes you directly to this board. If only most other areas worked like this.
