yep.
although using two pages in the first place was just due to the limitations of paper books. PDF gives us the ability to implement a superior solution: i.e. presenting the map on a single page, of double width.
If there isn't an easy way to do this in Latex for a single book,
then (as Ingo noted), the fairly trivial solution would be to produce a PDF of the map separately, then insert that page into the PDF with a program that can edit PDF (is there a function equivalent to Adobe Acrobat on the linux platform?)

Hmm. What does "Two Up" mean? Does it display two pages side by side? If
yes, then IMO this feature is broken in Acrobat Reader because IMO it
should display a page with even page number next to a page with odd page
number (just as in real books). BTW, KDE's PDF reader Okular also does
it wrong.

If it's displaying wrong in Adobe Reader/Acrobat, you need to go to View -> Page Display -> Show Cover Page During Two-Up. This fixes the odd-even page issue, making even pages appear on the left and even ones on the right.
