Has anyone seen these guide maps? Are they any good or should I wait till I get to LOS to find maps?

i think you should come here and get a local map, i find its funny how bangkok map are being drawn out, once i follow a map direction, when i get to street turn the corner four time and expect to be back where i started but than again i was some where else .

It's very easy to find once you come.

The best place I can suggest you is the BTS. (Sky Train)

They have a MAP indicating all BTS station numbers, major super Markets and Tourist Attractions etc. It is free. You can collect it from the BTS ticket counter.

If you need to view it from the web visit www.bts.co.th

If it looks like cheese and smells like cheese then it probably is an excellent map for people here on a short visit who want to find tourist attractions. Bus maps are good for people staying longer and who have a sense of adventure.
