           temporal related and spatial overlapping maps are returned.

           Return all registered maps as ordered (by start_time) object list.
           Each list entry is a list of map
           objects which are potentially located in temporal relation to the
           actual granule of the second space time dataset.

           Each entry in the object list is a dict. The actual sampler
           map and its temporal extent (the actual granule) and
           the list of samples are stored:

                   map.print_info()

           A valid temporal topology (no overlapping or inclusion allowed)
           is needed to get correct results in case of gaps in the sample
           dataset.

           Gaps between maps are identified as unregistered maps with id==None.

           The objects are initialized with their id's' and the spatio-temporal
           extent (temporal type, start time, end time, west, east, south,
           north, bottom and top).
           In case more map information are needed, use the select()
           method for each listed object.
