Burning Crusade Outland maps

Gnomeproblem.com has a series of Outland maps, with numbered locations. So if a quest sends you to "Felpark Ravine", and you don't know where that is, you can look it up here.

Am I the only one missing maps in drawing? In previous games people with orientation and drawing skills would make wonderful maps of zones and dungeons. In World of Warcraft the only thing you ever see is screenshots of in-game maps that have been photoshopped with a bit of added information. That works for outdoor zones, but usually not very well for dungeons.

The lack of dungeon maps are a pain. Even in the Brady Games WOW Dungeon book, the maps are so tiny as to be virtually worthless (eg try finding your way round BRD with their map), whilst for some obscure reason known only to Blizzard, the mini-map is the only one available in-game without using an add-on of some kind.
I've been lost in every single instance bar Stockades, I think.

Despite having navigated Deadmines numerous times I still find myself getting lost just getting to the entrance.

Atlas is a god send.

I always had the map on-screen in Diablo and D2, but Blizzard really messed up in not including an auto-updating HUD map for each WoW Instance. Let people turn them off if they don't like them, but for Orion's sake at least include that feature!

When I was a young'n we walked to school... 4 miles... uphill... in the snow... both ways!

And we mapped our dungeons with pen and paper.

Pen and paper, huh? Yeah, I think I've heard of those things. Didn't people use them last century, before computers were invented?
