You can trade with Wandering Traders for maps to generated structures like dungeons and temples

  I agree, though personally I think they should sell different kinds of maps than cartographers, so they're both useful.
  Maybe maps to the nearest villages, or even nearest biomes, as there's no way to locate a particular biome in survival, without lucky exploration.

  I like that idea. I find the traders don't offer a lot of interesting items a lot of the time, and I would really like to be able to buy maps.

  Further, when the trader despawns, he leaves his llamas behind, and they just linger around, meaning if I spend a few hours at my fort, I easily end up with a dozen llamas making noise and climbing around on rooftops, this is really annoying, and I wish they would despawn with him.

  I think this is an excellent idea. Considering how wandering traders have one out of a wide selection of trades to randomly become available upon spawning, it'd be nice to have the chance to get a map to a structure the player has struggled to find.

  Some suggestions I want to give relate to making it not too easy. For one, these maps should have the same value or a little less than that of those offered by the cartographer villager (13-14 emeralds and a compass for a map). Secondly, not all of the structures should be given maps, including strongholds. Strongholds should keep their requirement of locating the structure via eyes of ender, adding to the challenge and reward of finding the underground stronghold and its portal. Maps are probably also not needed for structures more commonly generated than others, like villages, shipwrecks, and ruins (at least from what I've observed).

  This would be a really fun way to make every Trader a treat! I think it would be cool if he offered different locations from dolphins and cartographers—dungeons, desert wells, desert temples,  that sort of thing! He could even give maps to random biomes, giving you a way to potentially track down obscure biomes like mushroom plains and coral reefs!

  Yes, that would be VERY good. The Wandering Trader could be a rare villager who sells maps of biomes.

  wandering traders should give maps to random biomes like one spawns and sells a jungle explorer map
