Is it a good idea to trade territory or world maps when AI civs ask? Its seem that it keeps them happy but Im not sure. Their "deals" are always so unfair I dont trust em.
 
I never trade my maps (if you trade with one, everyone will have it faster than you think).

The AI already knows which city is defended anyway (some of the "cheats" they have), still I don't like them knowing how my whole territory is build.

It's up to you to decide how this affects your war strategy.
 
If I have opened area later in the game from taking towns, I do not want the maps given. Unless I am willing to attack any possible landings with settlers. If I have no place for them to land and found a town, then I don't care.

Remember they know the disposition of units and resources, but not the routing. That is why I strive to prevent scouts from getting behind my land. I do not want them to send in settlers early in the game, if I can avoid it.
 
If you're on a continent, don't show them where to land the settlers.
If you're continent is covered with culture, go ahead, it doesn't matter as long as you defend well from landings.

In land maps, don't show the area behind you early on. They'll go there with settlers.

For the rest, if you trade it to one, trade it to all - the AI will trade in between turns. Same as with Techs. They will sell it among each other (assuming they have contact).
