There's only a certain amount of information that can be held actively in your mind at one time (working memory) when we need to focus attention to a more specific task it will take up more of this working memory capcity so other less important information (radio) will be compromised.
Also, if the radio is playing something with words, this may interfere with subvocal speech being used by the person.

For better concentration on the map- who can concentrate while they are too busy jammin' on their favorite tunes or about ready to rip the stereo out because of the stupid comercials??

It allows you to concentrate on looking. You're taking away some of the sensory overload

It's easier to concentrate without noise as a distraction.
