  Code Maps are now integrated with visual studio debugger. So when you debug the code you can see the stack trace in a visual manner. To Integrate you debugger you can use the following icon in visual studio so it will create the code map for you debugging session. When you start debugging of you code you will see this icon. When you click on the the icon, it will generate the code map for you, & when you stepping through the code parts it will show you visually where you exactly are as below.
