Maps should work like...well Maps
Maps right now are really weird. They don't do much except Show you gen auras in a reach where you can already see them. They are useful to find totems and the hatch but this item could be so much more. So why don't change it to work like a real map.
When you use the item you open the map and the view changes so the complete field of view is the map. There you can Spot from the beginning of the Match Generators, Totems and Chests. (More or less depending if it's a green or pink map and which addons you bring)
While the map is open you can still look around with your character and a arrow on the map Shows where you are and where to move to find what you are searching for.
Maybe there could be addons where you see the location of other survivors on the map or the location of the killer which in both chases let's the map run out quicker

I would love to see a top-down view of 'explored' tiles. Once you enter a tile you 'explore' it, and if you got close enough to a totem or gen or other trackable object, then it is shown on the top-down view of the map as well as aura highlighted as normal. I think tracking non-static features like Survivors and Killers should remain in the realm of the Key though.
