I got lost, where should I go?

I took a walk in No Man's Sky in order to find Copper. I walked 5 minutes in any direction. Now I got lost and dont know in which direction I must go.

The scanner only shows resources.


Solution 1:

In order to find previously visited place you have to place some kind of marker on it. Marker could be starship, other vehicles, registered base, save beacon, save beacon on NPC bases. Or the analysis visor shows you coordinates on the right side. (Btw. I lost some NPC's before I learnt how to use Save Beacon, it sadly happens.)
