contents Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have demonstrated significant progress in semantic scene understanding and text-image alignment, with reasoning variants enhancing performance on more complex tasks involving mathematics and logic. To bridge this gap, we introduce ReasonMap, a novel benchmark specifically designed to evaluate these capabilities. ReasonMap encompasses high-resolution transit maps from 30 cities and includes 1,008 question-answer pairs spanning two question types and three templates. Furthermore, we design a two-level evaluation pipeline that properly assesses answer correctness and quality. Our comprehensive evaluation of 16 popular MLLMs reveals a counterintuitive pattern: among open-source models, base variants outperform their reasoning-tuned counterparts, whereas the opposite trend is observed in closed-source models. Further analysis under the visual-masking setting confirms that strong performance necessitates direct visual grounding, rather than relying solely on language priors. We further establish a training baseline with reinforcement fine-tuning, providing a reference for future exploration. We hope this benchmark study offers new insights into visual reasoning and helps investigate the gap between open- and closed-source models.
