For a long time Tokyo PC Users Group posters used the Akiba PC  
Hotline! map.
  <http://www.watch.impress.co.jp/akiba/map/>

It has easily referenced grid co-ordinates, and even photos/ 
descriptions/phone numbers of some shops.  (Unfortunately the photos  
don't seem to be updated/added as frequently as a few years ago.)

For example, the one Otto used store that has been discussed is at  
D_1 b6
  <http://www.watch.impress.co.jp/akiba/map/d_1.html>  b6
An affiliated branch that I like because it has bigger server-type  
toys is PC-SERVER1 at
