How I'm finding maps on a character with no mining skill. Step 1 take a screen print of the map and scale it to 400%. This can be done in any graphics program or MSPaint
Step 2 travel to the general area on the map (my char has hiding/stealth) then overlay Automap, zoomed to match, over the screenprint, matching coastlines, roads, forest edges etc
Step 3 Double click Automap so that it no longer stays on top, being very careful not to move it.
alt/tab to the zoomed map. Carefully position the cursor over the spot where you believe the map to be in relation to the now visible pin, click. (note: the chest is not at the point of the pin, but slightly to the side and up. See second image.
Being careful not to move the cursor use alt/tab to return to automap. Right click and choose 'drop or pick up marker'.
Double click to restore the 'stay on top' mode
Make your way to the marker and dig up your map. The picture below shows the accuracy of the method.
