As is the case with all of DramaScape's products, the map's gridlines are not set up well for tabletop/miniature gaming that relies on grids. Rather than constructing a grid and then laying out the terrain within the format of the gridlines, DramaScape maps are more like satellite photos that have had a grid stamped on top of them. As a result, squares that have a line running through them (an occurance that is very common with DramaScape maps) make it difficult for players and GMs to determine if the square is inside the building or outside of it, if a figure can or cannot stand in the square, and if so, where the figure is actually located for purposes of tracing LoS, determining cover, etc.
On the other hand, the gridless map would work well for games that are played without a grid. They have a nice level of detail that features a bunch of irregularly located terrain and scenery objects, making them look more realistic than maps made for play on a board with a grid.
