Exactly. One of the biggest reasons why the earlier zones of Eureka felt explorable is because you can't fly.
Finding B, A or S marks is not "fly to a specific destination" because you don't know which spawn point it's at. Treasure maps can involve looking in nooks and crannies because you are figuring out where the exact X is from a vague, zoomed in picture of the map and it can involve several dig attempts. Gathering isn't done at any specific location because they are dotted all around the place so you get to explore and gather where you please.

I do personally feel satisfied that I have been everywhere on the map once I have done all of the quests including the sidequests and job quests. The cabin in Outer La Noscea is used in job quests and so is the cabin in The Fringes. This is the sort of game where everything has a purpose or a quest it's used for. I would like if that wasn't how it is but like everything the maps are designed around the stories or at least there is no part of the map they don't use for them.
