So even though it's a 3rd party tool, it becomes part of the game play. As a wormholer, they are totally invaluable and can definitely offer a competitive advantage, but that competitive advantage wouldn't be there without someone in the group doing the work and mapping things out and having a good corp (guild) culture of keeping things clean.
The maps are kept internal to the groups that manage them, but the tool themselves are open for anyone in the game to use for free. In EVE we have tools like Pathfinder and Tripwire which serve exactly these purposes. Granted, the solo player or very small group won't be as equipped as larger groups, but it will let them get closer than making this a bannable offense. By explicitly allowing 3rd party mapping tools or even catering to them by offering an API like EVE does, will put more groups on equal footing. Larger groups are going to either track it by hand or develop internal tools or discord bots or whatever else. The problem of groups gaining an advantage by having a map is going to happen anyway. However, as a long time EVE player who lives in Wormholes (a VERY similar concept to Roads for those that don't know) I would like to offer a counter argument. First off, I respect your decision and understand why you've taken this stance.
