chartless

Lacking any maps

Chartless means without a chart or map to guide the way.

The word appears in literary or poetic contexts describing uncharted territory or journeys into the unknown: a chartless sea, chartless wilderness.

Figuratively, it suggests proceeding without established guidance: navigating the chartless waters of a new career.
