The classic solution is to print off or draw your own maps.

If you are inclined then the games log file can capture output of /who, /loc and sense heading which could be used to create an overlay of a map of the current zone showing your location and facing. There is probably already a software solution for this but I don’t know whether it would be compatible with the games usage agreement.You can also have great fun here playing gambling games.
Creating or printing your own maps is a wonderful throwback to the days when players sat with notebooks beside their keyboards, meticulously documenting their adventures and discoveries. For those who enjoy a tactile connection to the game, this method can enhance the sense of immersion and achievement.
