I hear you, but I def. prefer no map at all in game. Maybe a hand drawn map of sorts with very little detail, but I would hope it doesn't have anything like Dungeons or details in it :). I like having to know my way around.
I think of it as the difference between being home and on vacation. At Home I never use a GPS to get around. I know the area well enough through experience to know where to go and when the best times to travel is, etc.. When on vacation I put in an address into GPS and follow a map. Since I'm watching my GPS half the drive I never really get to know the area. I don't remember signs, certain buildings, or tree etc. Instead I just rely on my GPS to guide me. Without GPS I focus more on the direction I'm going, I'm looking at the road and surronders more for details and clues to help remember my way. After alot of wrong turns I'll find my way and have memories to keep. With GPS I only remember the address I had to type in. Just my way of thinking about it.
I'd much rather stubble through it at first to learn it better for later as I feel thats where I make some awesome memories :).
Ceythos (VR's crafting dev) has definitely heard the suggestions for Cartography and sees the pros and cons of it, but currently has no plans for it. Here's some threads on it you might be interested in though:

There is a semi-fleshed out cartography proposal on page 8 of this thread: https://www.pantheonmmo.com/content/forums/topic/2420/maps-of-various-kinds/view/page/8
I honestly don't expect anything like this to exist in Pantheon, at least not for a long time. That said, I'm not sure if it would make sense to add a feature like this down the line after the game already has an established "feel" for the world. It's an interesting concept but I can certainly see both sides of the coin on whether any iteration of cartography should be considered for implementation. For now, I'm going to assume that it's something we most likely won't see in this game.
