It's a nuisance for new players to have to open and close map everytime you reach a blue dotted line, wondering where is this line leading you to? I've seem other games that actually finish the second half of the job, which is simply add a floating text to where the zone line will lead you into, which wil appear together with the blue dotted line when you walk close enough.
Personally I'd hate this. But I suppose they could add an option to turn it off for people that like things the way they are.
There is an icon on the map that centers back onto your character. I'm not sure of your issue but from what I assume is that you're clicking past destinations and then having trouble with the fact that the map isn't following you? Well, hit that icon and bang, right back on you.
I think you underestimate a lot of players exploration skills but I wouldn't be against having it as an option.
