Your logic is totally wrong. You're only checking if the TRIGGER STAYS IN YOUR BOUNDS but still trying to log "Map OFF" message which will never happen.

Instead of OnTriggerStar method use OnTriggerEnter and OnTriggerExit. Then print the message only when needed ( or in debug mode ) :

void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
    if ( other.gameObject.CompareTag("Player") )
    {
        m_IsPlayerOnTheMap = true;
    } 
}

void OnTriggerExit(Collider other)
{
    if( other.gameObject.CompareTag("Player") )
    {
        m_IsPlayerOnTheMap = false;
    }
}

void Update()
{
#if DEBUG
    if ( m_IsPlayerOnTheMap )
    {
        Debug.Log("Map ON");
    }
    else
    {
        Debug.Log("Map OFF");
    }
#endif
}

private bool m_IsPlayerOnTheMap = false;
