Perhaps it's better to look at it the other way round.  How much value does
one map *gain* by being more up to date than another map?

For some uses, like the street map at Charlbury railway station perhaps not
a lot.

For other uses, like how to route around the congestion charging zone in
central London, there's a lot of value gained by being current.
