I've only used epub so far because I'm on the Kobo but it should work for any format that you can disassemble down to its component parts and grab the map files. That means the DRM infection has to be removed of course.
For stuff like that, in fact for all my file operations, I use
Total Commander. IMNSHO it's the best file manager on the planet, knocks the socks off most OS file managers. (If you're familiar with the old Norton Commander at all then TC is NC for Windows - on steroids). In TC a Ctrl-PgDn on any archive file, regardless of extension, will open it up in a folder like structure and you can just copy the .jpgs to a "Maps" folder or wherever you want.
I've also used maps from external sources and as long as they're saved in a format the reader recognizes then they work fine too. Of course that depends if you can get an better quality external source, atlases of Pern aren't on the Ordnance Survey site!
But some good fanfic maps are available, for example
this one for the Honor Harrington Universe.
