telnet mapscii.me

Needs real telnet, can't use netcat (`nc`) to fake it, like some
"telnet" services.

It uses colors and Braille Unicode characters, so not quite ASCII, but
similar in spirit. You can move around with vi keys: h/j/k/l and change
the zoom with a and z.

Source code here:
https://github.com/rastapasta/mapscii

Need to zoom in a few times before "Perth" shows up. Red text, blue

Great!

When using xterm, you can even use the mouse:

- left-click + drag to move
- mouse wheel to zoom

Then it's just as fast as in a browser.
Only a location search is missing :)
