I don't know about anyone else but when I need to harvest from certain trees, it really starts to become annoying and not very fun when I have to search around ALL these areas and streets trying to remember the last time I saw the closest sort of tree I need. For example, I'm currently looking for a wood tree and I cannot find one for the life of me. I looked on the Glitch Wiki which can be helpful at times (and I noticed someone put the exact street locations where you can find a paper tree, thanks!) but telling me only the AREAS doesn't help at all most of the time. I searched throughout most of the three areas where a wood tree could apparently be and I haven't found one at all, unless I'm going on the wrong streets, conveniently. It ends up feeling like a waste of time! In my opinion, when I'm able to set a destination for a vendor or whatever else and go straight there to do what I have to do, it doesn't feel so time consuming and boring. So yeah, I wish you could locate the nearest tree you're looking for somehow. You probably have it set up this way to make it more challenging but I'm not a fan of the vagueness.
