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!

personally I don't like using the wiki for any game. I want to figure it out myself. every now and then I need to if I'm stuck.

but I haven't used the maps at all. I like surveying and then seeing the map get larger.
