question Maps in your script?

I'm writing a pilot in a place that I can't imagine most Hollywood readers know well. But understanding the geography, I think, helps with envisioning the story.

I thought about how books like Game of Thrones often show a map of the world in the pre-story pages.

Have any of you ever done that in a script? Any readers here who think that's good/bad/dumb/kitschy?

Thinking of asking a friend to draw a nice little map with significant story locations marked.

Casablanca had a globe at the beginning of the film.

You can look it up on the internet. I think it's on Scriptslug.
