You only ever need a map if they're getting anal about
moving and cover in a firefight.  Mostly you can
ignore it.  It's not like the heroes know the place,
or they wouldn't need a map.  They're unlikely to fly
up into the air (intentionally.  Mines don't count)
and take a peek at the city from the air.

Besides, who said anythign about a detailed map?  It's
not like it matters, is it?  The junkers workshop's
over there.  Pass me the tape measure, I'll tell you
how far...

The fortune teller is closing her doors
She looked into the crystal and saw nothing at all
