I used to try to follow ATC instructions from Airport Diagrams, i.e., KDEN or other big airports. It can be done but looking at the diagram, figuring out my initial position and then interpreting ATC taxi instructions was a real pain. As mentioned, IRL, you should have a pretty good idea where you need to go, but hey! Its a simulator. LNM solves the hassle, I know where I’m at, I can zoom to the taxiways and quickly determine my path to the runway. Easy and cheap.
