Idea for map (that makes in-game sense): make it recoverable from an Aurora 'black box(es)'

Map (if acquired from the Internets and not in-game) breaks immersion. But, what if the map was downloadable from the Aurora, from a black box room buried inside or something (let's say there were several redundant black box rooms throughout the Aurora, and one survived with minimal damage, allowing the player to recover a brief overview scan of the crash area that the Aurora managed to sweep quickly on the way down. I mean, if (more of) the crew had survived, this information would have proved invaluable, so it makes sense for the AI to prioritize a few microseconds to glance at where it was headed after de-orbit..
The map I was talking about:

Maybe (if you feel like decreasing difficulty) have the map be the only thing recoverable from the Aurora without the propulsion gun? (But have it still require repair welder and/or laser cutter)
EDIT: You could even remove the specific resource areas, and just have an in-general overview, as the orbital scan wouldn't have specific locations. Also, obviously the map shouldn't have technology pickup locations that were created in the secondary explosion of the Aurora. So more of just the different zones, the islands and what you can probably find in those zones (no teleport locations obviously).
