X : What's the best way of mapping?
Me : Gosh. That's down to the situation. I often get people to talk and whilst they talk I'll make a map and when I'm ready (30 mins or so), I'll shift the conversation to the map. I did this one a few hours ago, in exactly that manner.

... then we will discuss it, refine it, add some notes and then go and sleep on it. Mapping doesn't take long.
X : How do you know if the map is any good?
Me : All maps are imperfect and as models they are also wrong. The question really is whether they are useful. For me, personally, a good sign is that I can come back to a map we made months ago and in 30 seconds be back upto speed.

I like that in a map. I can one minute be talking issues of nation state politics and the next minute the minutiae of engine control units and network protocols and then a minute later onto regulation within an industry. A quick scan of a map and ... bang, I'm back into it.
In my old world, without maps ... well, I would often spend the first hour or more trying to remember what the hell were we talking about in some meeting that happened months ago.
