I am playing Rise of the Tomb Raider on PC.
When I press the TAB key, I get the map, and I see (red arrow highlighted) green/orange dots and dotted lines.
What do they mean? How can these be useful to me as a player?
Sorry folks I wasn't just looking properly on the map, my bad.
It is clearly specified what these mean in the top right-hand corner.
This time you go near the dot only if you need.
