In my games, I sometimes use poster maps given in pre-made campaigns but they give away the rest of the dungeon. How should I work around this? What is the best alternative? Please help!
I have used sticky notes, black pieces of cardboard, cloth or felt, cotton (to simulate fog or clouds), or printed out roofs as fog of war on poster maps.

"That is not dead which can eternal lie;
And with strange aeons even death may die"
-H.P. Lovecraft
Fold the map up or tape plain sheets of paper around the part you don't want the PCs to see.
There aren't great options, but you can use sheets of paper to cover the areas you don't want them to see.
I like fabric to cover my dungeons. It’s easier to fold it and bend it around as the party enters each room.
Last night I used sheets of paper towel in a pinch to cover what characters couldn't see. Quick, cheap, and good enough for me.
