Well to begin they really benefited greatly in overall increased commerce. It had been widely known since the days of ancient Greece that the earth was round, so they already knew that they could sail out anywhere and return without 'falling off'. The routes through mountains and all other types of terrain were now well marked as well and after the initial "no kidding" thing passed commerce was increased more ships and wagons built and horses and mules were now a even more valuable commodity. The word cartography alone says much about how the Europeans valued maps because they went ahead and created the word cartography which both looks and sounds impressive in it's own right.
