"Too abstract"? What exactly are you thinking of? Orienteering is one of the most concrete and immediate forms of navigation. (I did a little in high school, in the brushy woodlands common in the Mid-Atlantic region it is a real challenge.)

ADDED: How about changing the [CLOSE] button to something like DISCARD. I keep clicking on it when I want to commit an edit and losing my work.
