Content Suggestion Add Site Maps to the Tablet

[Desired]

What does this suggestion change/add/remove:

This will make it so that the maps of LCZ, EZ, and HCZ (and possibly other maps idk) are available on the tablet,

-A simple image of the map(s) pasted onto a section of the tablet would do.

or

-You could form it like the S-NAV from SCP:CB and have it track your current location as well as giving you the overall map to pan over.

Either way works, it'd just be nice to have a map.

-You can also have it be based on clearance level, with some zones being redacted, like F3.

-And a map of the power boxes around the facility would do wonders for the techies, in which case it can also display which power box is malfunctioning and needs attention.

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:

I don't believe this has been suggested before at all.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):

-Allows new players to navigate easier
-Quality of Life for current players so they don't for example, get lost in HCZ
-Would allow faster repair of facility systems

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:

I don't see any negatives, Though the more advanced way I pitched (S-NAV) could potentially take some time.

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:

I believe a lot of people would be in favour of this suggestion as it wouldn't be very obnoxious, and people could just access it at any given moment, readily available.

I suggested on discord in the past to add a form of the S-NAV from SCP:CB, but the site tablet would fit perfectly for this, on top of giving it more importance which it needs.

We could even give S-NAV Ultimate functionality to the tablets of CL5s, letting them see and track where any SCPs around them are to help them avoid and direct their guards for defense. I mention ONLY CL5s because SCP trackers could be a highly OP and unfair advantage during breaches, so the CL5s could be instructed to ONLY use tracker information for protecting their own lives. But at the same time, I feel like a containment site like 65 should be using tech that actively tracks an SCP's location in some way, but it also needs to be heavily restricted for the sake of balance. That itself should be discussed more with the community.

-

But anyways, something like this would need constant upkeep from the content/developer team: If they decide to change the game map or add/remove SCPs, they would now have to take changing the tablet navigator into account every time, and the dev that originally made the map mechanic could leave, same thing happened with the last dev who made public maps for the server on discord.
This is the potential negative I see with this suggestion.

Otherwise; I believe the server would benefit from this, though I also understand if staff choose to deny this, but we AT LEAST need facility maps to come back in some shape or form, would help people not get lost in the big ol HCZ.
