I was talking purely of the sort where it is only unveiled as you explore in the game. Automapping over a preexisting map is more, but that's because it adds something I didn't even mention, a preexisting map. I'm talking strictly about the automap portion itself. As for being able to zoom out and make sense of things in relation to what you have explored, that's always a good thing. If you can take a pad and paper and do it in the real world, they should let you do it in the game, that's how I see it.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
