I sacrificed the compass pin for the geo magnet pin almost immediately when I found it, because hoovering up some of the geo that normally falls off ledges was way more important than knowing my precise map location on an extremely well-landmarked map. I think i struggled for a couple areas and then never needed it again, hollow knight absolutely broke me of that habit. I still check the map often in other games, but I pay a lot more attention to the shape of rooms and the little set-dressing details in the rooms so it's easier to remember them. Which also makes it easier to remember where the ability gates are! I even loved the fact that the map fills in by exploring and making your way back to checkpoints! It felt like I was learning a coherent space bit-by-bit with a diegetically-created map. It felt like a nice compromise where exploration had rewards and stakes, but nice enough to give the player an actual map instead of like Dark Souls where I spend a lot of my time rotating the 3D Map/Model of everything from Sen's Fortress -> Tomb of the Giants in my brain. That being said, if you want to take the map itself away, you can pry it from my cold, buggy fingers
