I think the only part of Giedi Prime we saw was Pieter's office, the colloseum Feyd-Rautha fought in, and maybe the Baron's chambers? The real action was on Arrakis. I'm not sure the topology of all these planets was really dreamed up until the son took over. I've always wondered what the large-scale map of the Dune universe looks like, at the planet and system level. Although it really doesn't matter, with the Spacing Guild and it's navigators. Space becomes somewhat meaningless when you can bend it.

Good points. It's not really clear exactly how folding space works, though. Later in the series, no-ships are used and one of the reasons they can be used is because they can calculate how to avoid interstellar objects just as the Guild Navigators do (which I believe is not mentioned until the moment the no-ships are actually introduced). So even with foldspace, actual positions may be useful, although I don't think these are discussed much in the novels, so I supposed there's no real basis for a map.
