If you want to learn the best Side Quests, then here's a tip for you, take races and Driver SF activities as these two quests offer hefty rewards. Improve your character through gold and followers which will give you respect and access on different hacking communities.
Watch Dogs 2 Fast Travel
Unlike in Mafia 3, driving in Watch Dogs 2 is a lot better especially without the former's rear view mirror (which is quite annoying). However, just like in Mafia 3, this game has quests scattered across different locations and therefore, clearing different quests will take you some time through normal driving. The good news is that, the game allows Fast Travel once you managed to clear the opening tutorial of the game.
Now, if you still don't know how to use Fast Travel, here is the guide for you. First, purchase the map app (it is one of the first objectives in Watch Dogs 2). After purchasing the item, tap the Views Button on your Xbox One Controller or the Touchpad on your Dualshock 4 is you're on PS4 and it'll bring out your map. Now, use your left thumbstick to select across the red points (these are the points where you can instantly teleport). If the map is too big, you can zoom in using RT or R2 and then press Square or X to instantly teleport to the specific point. Take note that in most quests, Fast Travel is disabled for obvious reasons and thus, you need to rely on your driving skills in order to finish missions, etc.
