Ecchhh.  I think I can see how "cityplan" is supposed to imply the "map"
idea here, but it's definitely not the kind of word that ought to be used
without explanation.  {nab} is far too general a word to work for this idea.

If it's not on an electronic display, I think {wIy nav} is understandable.
