Agreed ! Exploration of huge and complex zones like big cities should come with a minimum of help to keep discovery/adventure feels safe.
This is just similar to real life when you land in an unfamiliar city and you have to search for somewhere to sleep, something to eat or a more specific place. You still can ask anything to players characters, but that's all.
