Another Reference to "Map Point" as a Rave term

"Random detail: Scott Beale Twittered that he had considered the use of a "map point" to find the party's secret location, a technique used in the early days of raves in the early '90s. That could have been fun in itself, but luckily it wasn't so hard to locate."

Re: Before the Microsoft Product, "Map Point" was a Rave term

I've seen more references to this as a Rave/Party term again recently, I wonder if it is coming back!
