How to Navigate visually??

Hi all,

Just wondering if some kind people could give me some tips on how to find a needle in the haystack which is required for the CPL. I always get in the general area but am finding it hard to narrow it down to the actual location. Often because there are more roads than appear on the map or something like that. Please give me some advice so that I can find a house or mineshaft or whatever the first time around. It is incredibly frustrating having to do this sort of naviagtion after having completed my instrument rating. I am after some set procedures to ensure that I stay on track after take-off to ensure that I get there the first time around. Eg take-off set course, note time etc.

Thanks for all your help as I really need it with visual nav. In theory it sounds very easy. Maintain Hdg and note time etc but I find that nine times out of ten I am off track.

Please help me !!
