I actually thought the game's mapping system was quite easy and intuitive, except that it does get a bit more complex when dealing with multiple levels. In the original ARR regions, there's only a few limited areas where that's even an issue and they're easy enough to learn, but Heavensward expanded that problem without providing a solution to it.

Check your game's "System Configuration" settings. I think you've got it set too dark. At night, it may well be too dark for things like trying on outfits, as colors can be a little hard to make out, but aside from that you should be able to see fine for the most part. (The nighttime game world is actually quite pretty.)
