So the map is not completely useless if you pull it up, but in the heat of a race it’s tough to look down at the map, so it is MOSTLY useless. I don’t know if this is the console seller Nintendo has been begging for (though given it boosted UK sales of the Wii U by over 600% it must be doing something right), but it sure as hell is a good step in the right direction.
