Shouldn't the secretive be based on the teleporter used to enter?

If I enter via the front door, then I would expect it to be pretty
obvious where I am, but not when entering via a "random" teleporter
or just jumping around on the same map via a teleporter.

That would of course make it even harder to update the maps (or perhaps
some clever program could help here), but I think players would except
it to work like that.
