Well, with Bard's Tale GS, and BTII GS (Destiny Knight), neither one has any
auto mapping feature.  You do, however, get maps of the towns and/or
communities.  With BTI, you get a map of skara brae.  With BTII, you get a map
of the land showing where each of the towns are.  You do NOT get maps of the
dungeons.  You either have to make them yourself, or you can buy the clue
books which contain the maps for everything.

A good game with AutoMapping is DragonWars.  It is currently out for the //e,
and the GS demo looks very promising.  You could also try Wraith.  I haven't
gotten very far yet, but the dungeons and castles are not so complex (so far)
where you would really need to map.

Besides, mapping is half the fun! :-)
