Start a Game Menu: add number of terr. on map thumbnail

On the Start a game menu add a number on the bottom right with an * before it. Right below where it says Map put a *number of territories in this map. On maps that are N/A put N/A instead of a number.
Why? I don't know if this is common so I am posting to see but; I look for maps that aren't played too much and have the right number of territories for good 6, 7, or 8 player escalating games. Usually I am opening the map and counting all the territories and joining territories etc. Does anyone else do this for their game play and would it help to have a number right by the thumbnail showing the number of territories or am I just being a lazy jake.
I suppose there could be a link to the Maps Used Most thread (I think I read one before) in the Start A Game and Join A Game areas too. Or not
