You don't need map at ATL. All the terminals are basically identical and are in a linear order. When you come up from the train make a left or right and follow the numbers.
+1 Thank you! Someone who gets it!

In terms of strictly navigating the airport from Gate A to Gate B, MSP is a nightmare. At least in ATL you know it's a pattern of "walk, train, walk". At MSP you first have to figure out the right series of turns (God forbid they set it up in a logical sequence of A-B-C-D-E like ATL), then you have to pray that the series of 8 moving walkways is working (because if they aren't, you just added 10 minutes to your hike).
