Only a little niggle, since it seems more likely than not that any species with the intelligence/development to grab the craft and make intelligence of the recordings would probably not need anything so archaic as a map to discern its origin.
Still, I think we're a bit naive.
Don't think I'll worry. As it's probably thousands of years until the craft is picked up, if it ever is picked up and therefore thousands of years for them to get here humanity will probably have ceased to exist (using current trends) anyway. Maybe the map will ensure aliens never come here.
