Molly,
Maps like the one you made a link to are very good for helping players rp their characters better. Their characters have lived 24/7 in their world, so of course they know all the nearby towns and which road to take, etc.
No secrets are given away by such a map, but they might prod a player to find ways to journey to places which are on the map but which they haven't visited.
Maps don't even have to be computer-generated. For our mud, we use a hand-drawn map to give players an idea of the surrounding lands. *cough*cheapmudplug*cough*.
