What?
You're not making sense...
The POINT of Mollys ability is that in order to track someone down she has to use a pin
and a map and she is able to pinpoint (pun intended!) their exact location...
But now she seems to be able to search for someone without these (previously) necessary
implements...
All I am asking is...
''Since when did she have THAT ability?''
She always had that ability.
She used the map so others could look at the EXACT location. Compare tracking Sylar to tracking Maury. In the former case, she stuck a pin in the map, in the latter she had no map, so she had to give very detailed dirrections.
Mohinder might not have had a map in his loft.
Also, imagine if she tracks someone and the person is in the middle of the woods. There aren't a lot of landmarks, so pointing at a map would help.
In conclusion: She uses maps to help others, the only requirement for her ability is knowing what the person looks like.
