Fast travel in general should be a part of navigation, rather than just
skipping it, IMO. My favorite kind of fast travel is when its limited to
certain "stations" that you have to physically go to, since it feels
more tactile than just activating something from a menu. It also makes
it way easier to contextualize it in the world as a boat ride or tram
system or such. For larger worlds though, I think having an "escape
rope" type item that just teleports to the nearest town is a good
compromise.

I haven't played a lot of super open games, so my thoughts might be
completely wrong tho
