Even though that's a cool idea, I always got the impression that you pass out right after the "landing", waking up some time later. And in the cinematic you can see the nautiloid turn a steep curve downwards just right after you're casted out, suggesting it won't land that far away from you. So I guess we're lucky it doesn't land right on top of us
Also, given the outburst of critique it took for us to have our cantrips changed, which is quite a small change, I don't think they will rewrite the whole map to accomodate your suggestion. But then again, quite a fair amount of critique against the compressed map has already been given so who knows, it might happen
