When I viewed what Oleh has done for Microsoft, it gave me the impression that I was looking at a table of contents / index of a book (no offense meant). A not so comfortable feeling when I was viewing it on the screen. This is my perception of the detailed (quite detailed) site map. But to be honest I feel it boils down to one thing - is it necessary? To my perception it is not, if the "navigation" (this certainly has many meanings after someone above mentioned so) is accurate. I would still say that the best use of site maps would be pre-development phase and use it as a tool among internal and external clients till the site goes live.
Also Search is good enough for any user to get a local website listing to narrow further. Ah! "search" its another discussion! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
