That's why they put the map in the show in the first place. You have to remember that Lauren Faust wanted this to be an adventure show. However, Season 1 made it slice of life, and there was no going back. Pinkie has an occupation as a party planner and baker, Dash has her weather duties and is a Wonderbolt, Twilight's a princess, Rarity runs a fashion empire, Fluttershy needs to care for her animals, and Applejack runs a farm. The map is the perfect way to send them on an adventure without throwing off the whole show.
