Ye Olde Pilot

As you obviously have a fund of up to date knowledge in this area. Could you tell me how in the middle of carrying out my emergency procedures I navigate around built up areas?
If the sun is out I can presumably look out of the windowand use a topo chart leaving the other pilot to fly the aircraft and carry out the checklists etc.. If its IMC none of my nav aids in the aircraft show built up areas??
I would need a lot of maps to cover my companies extensive route structure worldwide,not enough room in the cockpit unfortunately. Please enlighten me how to carry out your wishes.

PS Brize not a good diversion in poor weather, only Cat1 and restrictions on auto coupled approaches. But fine in good weather as I can use my built up area map and look out the window.
