I don't get this though. Maps are free online. You don't even have to guess anymore.

Have you ever tried drawing a map from memory? It's interesting, what you do and don't remember and why. That's why this is funny - what's salient to the other person and what's not. No American would want Florida to be bigger, for instance.

Exactly. Maps are free. Joke maps are also free. So instead of paying money, and somebody taking that money and assuring you this is the right thing. You get a free map, that might be a joke, but you don't know it's a joke cuz you don't know the map. And we get some funnies

You don't have to use their content, but you can double-check that your map is correct, mister sarcasm.
