[Begging]More ways please
I kind of understand where you are coming from. It is kind of odd there there is really only one open portal from one map to another, but i guess I’m used to it from GW1. I think what’s more of an issue is it seemed more seamless in GW1 because every map wasn’t square or rectangular.
I think it would go a long way if they would just make maps into more randomized shapes instead of just boxing them all in with mountains or invisible walls. It seemed like it was easier to naturally find your way to a portal instead of just walking along a wall until you find the opening.

Have you tried the official wiki?
For example: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Plains_of_Ashford
It’s safe and secure so no risk of your computer getting hacked from it.
Obviously, you feel the Guild Wars 2 family of sites are safe, as you use the forums.
That said, you can find maps on the Wiki and the Atlas that would help you find the Portals. (The Atlas does not have the Portals marked, but Portals usually have a road leading up to them, so it’s not too difficult to guess where they are.)
Good luck.
Thx f the tips and about roads…sometimes leads to other ways but not where I wish to go…
That’s actually a very good point. In GW1 the roads travelled in sensible paths taking you from one map to another. Some zones acted as “junction” or “crossroad” zones linking a number of different zones. In those regions there were roads that snaked off towards the portals and following the road guaranteed that you made your way there. However, a really handy feature was that at forks in the roads or junctions in the roads, there were signposts that, when you hit ALT or CTRL, would bring up the name of the zone that the road led to.
For new arrivals to those maps, signposts would be a wonderful addition to the roads and be more immersive.
+1 for Signposts. I’ve only got lost a few times, but i have missed the signposts from GW1.
Signposts could be a good addition in my opinion too,anyway anything is still better than the current state I think…yesterday I was lost again heading toward Karka Island…I didn’t know that there’s a portal to that island…:))
