I've recently been disabling minimaps in games that let me.... hell of a good idea, makes the game way more immersive and fun to navigate.

That being said, it does require a certain mindset that using a minimap doesn't. You need to be willing to take things slow, take in your surroundings, and really look. I recognize that most people don't like going that slow and so minimaps are useful. I hope that they've taken that into consideration with this decision.
