neutral  Mikhail Kropotov: Остается понять, каким же это образом является переводом слова "ползать". Однако "ползать" -- разговорная, образная речь, а explore -- нет.

  -> Я все же не согласна с Вашим комментарием в обсуждении. Здесь "ползать по карте" именно не в прямом смысле, а в переносном - изучать карту.
