Admittedly, I kind of wish it does. The letters to Celestia did get old after a while, but that was only because Twilight was growing. The journal was a great way to continue that, and I really miss it.

The map, on the other hand, is stupid. By having the map send the ponies to places, the emotional journey is lost, and it makes the conflict resolution so distant or abstract.

Take this episode for example. It didn't need the map. It could have just opened up with Rarity and Pinkie in Canterlot, and that would have been fine.
