In Fallout, why does your Pipboy show a map of the terrain outside?

I'm not sure if this was explained somewhere. Your Pipboy is given to you by the high-ranking members of the Vault. If they didn't want you to leave the Vault, why did they install software which gave it the ability to know the outside terrain? Surely there would have to be satellite navigation or a pre-conceived map of the Wastelands?





SILLY.|||Good point, but I can explain it. Most Vaults (except 101) were meant to be open at some point, therefore ppl would need to know where they were going. The reason a pipboy 3000 has it is because pipboys are standard tech to every vault all with the same programing (as long as its the same Model)|||I don't believe this ever comes up! And I agree, it is a bit of a plot hole.





It would have been nice if it had paused and said "Aquiring new topographical information" before the first time it shows you the world map.





If we're looking for possible explanations, perhaps your dad uploads it before he runs off?





It's still a great game though :)|||Good spot! It must've been your old man, he's a cheeky bugger!
