To me, Area Knowledge cones with the amount of time a PC is played in a certain area. They can even gain that knowledge without the talent. At least, that's how we dealt with it in our Classic TFT days.

Now, if a PC has this talent, I would definitely give them some advantages for having it. If they are in a new area, an IQ roll for becoming familiar with specific things quickly would apply. I would give them a better sense of direction if the party is in an unfamiliar area. Some of this could be done with percentage or IQ rolls.

As GM, I could come up with a percentage or likelihood of the PC figuring something out with respect to the area and then make a dice roll. For percentage rolls, I keep 2 D10's of two different colors. I assign one as the 1's digit and the other as the 10's digit.
