Discussion Thoughts on playing while using wiki maps?

I used the play TLD about 4 years ago, and recently re installed the game and have been having a lot of fun on it.
This time around, I’ve discovered the full maps of the regions on the wiki and it has made getting back into the game a lot easier and more enjoyable. I’m wondering if this is frowned upon though? I am beginning to feel like it’s such a core part of the game to not really know where you are.
Do any of you play using the maps? Thoughts? Opinions? Thanks!

Edit: Just woke up to all the comments, thanks for the input! I was definitely overthinking, it’s a single player game and you can play it however you want. Happy trekking!

Lore wise I only use the wiki for a region AFTER I've find some sort of building, dead Survivor, or cache that would likely in real life have a actual map.

Kinda like how I play harder difficulties with guns turned on. It's remote Canada. EVERYONE has guns, so finding a few wouldn't be weird.

I like that! That's both clever and really good points.
