Galaxy map, do you mean a map of our own galaxy, or a map of galaxies in the nearby Universe? Or a map of nearby stars?

Do you want a series of pictures? Or something amazing on a computer?
Here is a fly-through of the million or so galaxies close to us. Your software will need to be up to date. Also in 3D.

The computer game Elite has a 3D map of our local stars. It gives a good feeling for distances and direction.
Is this the sort of thing that you want?

They are already very nice, but would like to see some more. And i heard that SDSS is not the newest telescope, so there should be better maps i guess.
