If I can make a suggestion, you could macro cartography and not even have to worry about buying maps in the first place. The only pre-requisite would be that the mapmaker has enough maps to begin with that it would always "break even" on buying/selling by the end of the hour.
For example, create a macro which buys blank maps, crafts them into drawn maps, then sells them back. You can do this with the buy/sell agents.
Cartography takes 10 seconds per map, so that's 360 maps an hour. So if the vendor is carrying at least 360 maps, then the macro will run forever assuming noone else goes to the mapmaker and buys it out. If somebody does, your macro will get delayed until the next hour has passed.
It would take 4 hours to buy the vendor up to a stock of 360.
I actually wrote a guide for this in 2010:https://uolostlands.com/forum/index.php?p=/discussion/296/cartography-macro
