If the lady's put the wrong map in, it won't help (6)
I believe the answer is:
hamper
But I can't explain it at all! Could you help me understand?
(Other definitions for hamper that I've seen before include "Obstruct with picnic basket" , "Kind of food basket, maybe for picnic" , "Food box; impede" , "Slow up - basket" , "Prevent free movement" .)
