Planning Issues to Consider CYOO to CNY3

From CYOO to CNY3 do we go in a straight line? How high?

At takeoff, in what direction are At takeoff, in what direction are first enroute landmarks?first enroute landmarks?

Can we find airports?How are they oriented to other landmarks, roads, tracks, etc?
