I usually do use the maps, just to be sure that I don't miss anything or that I have enough time to go on everything as much as possible. Some parks you just don't need one - either you know the park so well, or else it is small enough not to matter, but I prefer to have one. We don't rely on it for everything, though, usually just major stuff we want to catch.
