Mariners have historically used stars a directional guides. There's no need to carry a map when one appears every (clear) night in the sky. It is believed by serious scholars that the ancient Polynesians used the stars to find the island groups of Hawaii, Midway, and even Easter Island. A recognizable group of stars helps one find a particular star with which to steer one's course.
