If I trade world maps with another country, what good does this do me? How can I use this map to my advantage? Is it located in lower left of screen?
 
when you trade for another civ's world map, all of the game map that they have "seen" to that point in the game is then revealed to you. This is useful in the earlier stages of the game when you haven't already explored much of the world on your own
 
A Tip:

If a civ asks if you want to trade maps, don't just settle for a straight swap, go in an see what they'll offer you. If they are approaching you, then they really want that map, and will be willing to give you more for it. When I first discovered this, not only did I end up with Joan's world map, the original offer, but also Navigation and 530 in gold.

Just keep in mind that the other civs will respond if you continually drive a hard bargain, and might get rather irritated with you over time. It always helps when you take advantage of them this way to toss a few gold, 25-100, back to them as a gift.
