It would appear that you have to know about their existence - and have a
URI like the above - before you can use them; there's no indication on the
TravellerMap "home" screen that they exist, and when I started out at the
link above and started zooming out, it took until the scale indicator was
at the 1000pc level before Charted Space (the "canonical" map of the
Imperium and surrounds) appeared on the screen - at literally about the
size of my thumbnail.
