There have been some good maps over the years, both from HTC and the players. I think the players should be compensated enough to motivate them (and others) to make more. I know it's a PITA, and it seems we either have too small or too large a map up at any given point in time. Maybe some changes in guidelines and size would liven things up a bit. Perhaps allow people to revamp existing terrains could also help in that regard.
Anyway, point being, I know what a time consuming and frustrating chore it can be, and the reward should equal the effort, especially considering the burden that could be lifted off HTC by encouraging people to generate maps. Maps could be beta tested in the BUMA, we could have a little Beta forum for maps, etc. The busier we are playing with new gizmos and buttons, the less likely we are to gripe.
