I don't really mind the list view, but I suppose when you're based out of SFO or LAX, they fly nonstop to nearly all of their destinations, and anything else is just a stop away. If I was based somewhere else, I'd definitely appreciate the value of a graphical map more.
If they bring it back, i hope they bring back the animated interactive one they used to have. It fit very well with their brand and conveyed the information efficiently. You basically clicked on an origin city and it visualized all of the direct routes. Then, like a second later, it showed the connecting possibilities.
Here's a GIF of it, circa Dec 2010.

I think they fly to more than SFO and LAX. Sadly they no longer fly to YYZ
(expensive landing fees!)Here is their updated map, which like mentioned before, SURPRISINGLY returned to the route page recently!:

You don't really need a map. If you live near SFO or LAX, you fly directly from SFO or LAX to wherever you want to go. If you live somewhere else, you fly source -> SFO -> dest or source -> LAX -> dest.
Not quite, since there are a couple of other permanent routes, and a few more seasonal ones, but it's a good estimate.

Not everyone lives in California.
Really seems like more of a regional airline than a full service.
