1) Russian army powerful but incompetent to the comical degree
(for start: unsecured communications which can be heard and interfered by regular
equipment available to any interested civilians).
I would not assume that they have good maps.

2) even if they have good maps - then one of traditional strengths of defenders is being 
better informed thanks to preexisting knowledge and info passed by population
supporting them.

Mapping Ukraine would be likely more helpful to invading Russians than Ukrainians
(both armed forces and civilians).
