Default Closeup maps of KoS islands?

I'm considering adding new "closeup" maps of the islands in the outdoor Kingdom of Sky zones (Tenebrous Tangle, Barren Sky, and Bonemire). I've included a JPG of an example (also included a DDS and the core_mapstyles.xml fragment in case you want to try it out).

Code:
<ImageStyle Name="exp02_rgn_realm_of_twilight_0" zonerect="-330, -409, 296, 320" availablepriority="0" heightmin="-30">
<ImageFrame Name="imageFrame" Source="images/maps/map_exp02_rgn_realm_of_twilight.dds" SourceRect="0,0,436,506"/>
</ImageStyle>
While the advantages are obvious, I can see some negatives, too.
  1. You won't be able to see the POIs on the other islands from a different island.
  2. Someone new might not even know that there are other islands.

So, what do you think of the idea?
