In my early days of cruising (any-one remember Spartacus - the size of a small telephone directory?) I used the maps simply as a guide to where the gay venues could be found. If one venue had changed names or moved across the street it didnt matter as much as giving me an idea of where (any-where in the world) to look for convenient hotels, and areas to start cruising. Rather like with changing vintages of wine, the fun is in discovering the latest venues in an ever changing scene, rather than looking for a specific venue on my (real) Blackberry using GPS co-ordinates (indispensable when navigating a light aircraft across the Australian outback, but total over-kill when seeking out a suana or host bar
)
