Can't find location, help please

Yes I know about the world map. I scoured it for half an hour and didn't have any luck.

The only major landmark near me I can think of is the village Somali Pirates. If anyone could tell me the map reference for that, I could likely find my own location.

Just identify more landmarks in your vicinity and scour the world map some more. It's usually really easy to locate yourself if you have some mountains or lakes near by as they stand out the most.

It's not a big landmark, but another one right next to me is a mudflat shaped sort of like a man's parts with a swastica made of grass at the tip.

If it's easy to miss or small, then don't rely on it to find your way. Explore a bit and get an idea of what your surroundings actually look like.

Mountains are best for this, as they're very large and still visible zoomed out. A mountain (or another distinguishable shape) on the border of where the two forest types meet is even better, as you can just track the borders of the forests on the world map. You could also post a screenshot of your surroundings (make sure the minimap is enlarged), someone might recognize them.

I'll have to try tracking borders, since there is a forest border near me, with a river close to that.
