It's a map with about all spots that have vinyl in Prague (and the rest of Czech Republic).
There aren't too many real record shops (and the ones I visited weren't really good), but there are lots of books shops (antikvariat) that have records. Most of them are cheap (4-8 euros for a record) and even have a separate Eastern European jazz section (which was my primary interest when looking for records).
The spots I've been to:
Musik Antikvariat: recommended, big sales section, separate sections for Czech Rock, Czech Jazz, East euro jazz etc.
CD Bazar (Krakovska): specialized record store, for one reason or another 90% of their stock were japanese pressings? I didn't find anything interesting here.
CD Bazar Vitezna: same for their other store.
Phono.CZ: not recommended, almost only new vinyl. Some interesting 45s though, but I didn't buy anything.
Antikvariat Kant: this was next to Phono.CZ, but there was only one crate with classical music.
Binderphon: maybe the best place I visited. A bit out of the centre, but a nice selection.
Black Point Music: a so called record store, located far out of the centre and definitely not worth the walk.
Antikvariat Aurora: Check this out, it's a cosy book store with a nice selection of records.
I also went to some other old book stores that I just stumbled upon, so I can't recall which ones those were, but if you look around, you'll find some stuff.
Thanks for the info!
