This could be a new skill that allows a new type of movement. You'd need literacy and some sort of paper or parchment.
This would allow an ingame map of features such as terrain (so you don't walk an hour around a wall only to find out it's going in the opposite direction you want to go)
There are other possibilities this could open into as well.

id doubt devs would waste time on this when people can use modded clients to get their own maps by just walking around.

It is a good idea but it has been suggested well over a dozen times, maybe not not this the new forum but I'm sure it is on the old forum.

Here is one that was posted 4 months ago.
