Koen not true. Maps of that period were very diverse. In that context it is not particularly unusual. My own view is that it is a hybrid regional map and itinerary map.
As an example of an itinerary map from an earlier period look at Matthew Paris's map of a journey from London to Jerusalem.
Northern Italian maps of the period were particularly diverse see Medieval Maps by Professor Harvey.
If you look at lots of maps of the period it becomes clear how diverse they can be.
