Am I bad or is the Cyclops trash?

I have built a well established base on the outskirts of the Sea Treaders passage, and was taking my seamoth to the 3rd degrassi base and was warped and killed by a warper, so since I literally have found zero upgrades for my prawn suit I decide to drive the cyclops and I can't tell where the fuck i am or anything I hate the damn thing I know it has purpose but between the sleekiness of the seamoth and hulkiness of the prawn suit we have an obese mentality challenged slug?

How can I manage to reliably tell wtf I am or where I am going?

Really need to remember to save way more often lost 2 hours of gathering uraninite and yeah.
