Let's talk about traveling around town

Traveling around town has always intended to be an important part of playing the Fixer. Many of the events and other interesting scenarios will trigger as you are walking around and living your own life much like you can currently see in the school.

With that in mind, I need to do some updates on how locations work. Without getting too technical, right now locations are just names. But I will need to include things such as if the location is outside, public, dangerous and a few other things. This gives a good opportunity for me to look at how locations are currently structured and laid out

A consistent point of feedback I have received is that its too hard to understand where to go, how long it would take and that people are pressing the wrong buttons. I have considered what could be done about this and the only solution I can think of while retaining the intended feel of the game is to simplify the map. 

Currently the way things work is there are 10 districts with each district having their own minor locations within them. Traveling between districts takes 20 mins or so depending on pregnancy/fitness. But minor locations take 1 min to travel between giving you freedom to explore. This is not counting the bus.

While this system seemed fairly clear to me, it has not been clear to some new players picking the game up. It is not obvious what locations you can travel to from what location, not clear what are districts or minor locations and how long traveling will take. Part of this is the lack of a tutorial explaining things as well as no overall map, but they will only take things so far.

With that in mind I have been considering doing something along the lines of the following.

This would remove any confusion players would have about how to get to a specific location and allow people to learn the map a lot easier. It would also allow me to better show to the player what areas are main district locations and what are minor locations by doing something like in the following (very rough) image.

Personally I am torn between what to do and am struggling to make a commitment. And thus I am turning to you to help me make the choice. Written feedback on your experiences would be greatly appreciated but I am putting a poll up so those who don't want to type anything can still have their voice heard.
