Pressing "v" only seems to give a limited "generic map" description... It doesn't matter where I am on the island it seems. If you want me to press a key, then "reward me" for the effort, with perhaps a clue, or tidbit of information I couldn't glean from the visual cues.
And the level tag is just that, just a level description, it doesn't describe where you actually are.
When you are on sand/the beach, it should say that, probably a line of text at the bottom of the screen. If you are going to make someone press a key to <L>ook Around, then give them something for the effort, though don't turn it into a grind, hence the suggestion of a line of text at the bottom of the screen.
A "tile" description would make the game more immersive, so you know where you are standing, and maybe some indication if you can "enter" a tile to a new region, as it might seem obvious to you, but it wasn't to me as newbie.
