Map in invites?

So I was wondering if I should enclose a map with my invitations... Our wedding will take place in Racine. We live in Milwaukee, along with the majority of our guests. There is quite a few people from out of town, but there is also a fair amount of people from the Racine area. Our venue is relatively easy to find, so do I just let everyone figure it out on their own? I'm having trouble figuring out what to do  for the maps and I just want to give up! But would that be rude?

    I would honestly only have a map to the wedding location in the invite (if that).  I'm putting the map to my reception on the back inside cover of my programs because I know a lot of people will probably forget their maps at home anyway.  That way they have it right when they need it.

    My ceremony and reception are at the same place. What did you use to make your maps?

    Ah okay.  Then yeah I'd totally put it in the invitation.  I'm inserting a notecard with all the pertinent info.  I'd just use MS Word and draw in lines for the major roads people need to watch out for (and maybe landmarks too).  You don't need to put in a full map.

    Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Just my two cents! We'll be including a map in our invites.

    I did a map as well.  I used Weddingmapper.com and then transfered it into Microsoft Publisher to include written directions.
