Moving around the board is easy enough. Unexplored nodes in the system are marked as green. Clicking on an unexplored node will reveal its contents: if the node is empty, it will turn orange and allow you to further explore nodes adjacent to it.

A recent (late 2014) addition is that as you click on each node, if it is unoccupied, it will briefly display a number, from 1 to 5, which indicates the distance from the nearest good (or possibly good) node.

The numbers can be used to guide the direction that you should move around the grid.
