Ultimate Wilderness exploration system for early chapters?

[Wonky Chewbacca]

Has anyone tried using the Discovery Points system in this path? The early exploration segments seem a bit vague and undirected to me, but I'm not a major fan of the hex system. I thought I'd see if anyone has already tried it before I start assigning waypoints and the like.

Was wondering if you got around to trying that out or if anyone else has?

Would love to hear how this worked out.

Was thinking of this myself while doing prep.

Anyone?
