Yeah; utterly ridiculous. Not only is there a large white margin, there's a 'semi-transparent map' margin within that, too.
Fortunately, I have access to mapping that allows me to print to the edge, and only suffer the couple of mm printer print area margin. Printed to A3, double-sided and z-folded to A6, they make very handy maps for trips.
