She works for a futuristic high-tech police force. It's not unreasonable to assume she might have the equivalent of a PDA which can download architectural drawings which have been registered with the city. This could then be made more interesting by having the maps be (a) incomplete (no one is going to update the drawings every time they shuffle a cubicle farm), (b) inaccurate (when clandestine major remodelling has been done), and (c) unavailable (for the older, grungier portions of the city). Thus the maps could be a useful tool early in the game, but get less and less helpful (and even dangerously misleading) as you advance through the game (and presumably need it less due to increasing skill).

Note that Konoko's "objective compass" seems to be a strong hint that she has something very much like this available to her (assuming they explain it in the game and don't just say "it works because you'd be hosed without it").
