You might consider adding `(beginning|end)-of-buffer'
to `goto-map'.
FWIW, my library `menu-bar+.el' has this for the
`Go To' menu (not quite the same thing as `goto-map'):
Line... M-g g
Column (Position in Line)... M-g TAB
Buffer Position... M-g c
Beginning of Buffer M-<
End of Buffer M->
Next Error C-x `
Previous Error M-g p
And if Bookmark+ is available (which has many kinds
of jump commands), submenu `Bookmark' (jumping only).
(Those jump items are also on a more general `Bookmarks'
menu, along with non-jump bookmark commands.)
And if Icicles is available, submenu `Icicles', which
has multi-command items for moving among markers etc.

And tag-finding (now "xref") items could be moved from
`goto-map' to a search map (such as `search-map').
They're not so much about going to a predefined
position as they are about finding something. A user
is more likely to look for finding and searching in
the same place.
`menu-bar+.el' puts them on a menu-bar `Search' menu,
submenu `Tags':
Find Tag...
Find Next Tag
___________
Find Tag Regexp...
Search Tagged Files...
Continue Search/Replace
___________
Tags Apropos...
Set Tags File Name...
___
`menu-bar+.el' also puts `grep' and similar on the
`Search' menu, not `Tools' -- they're about finding
or searching.
The `Tools' menu is a catch-all. Something should
be there only if there's no more specific kind of
"tool"/action place to put it. Searching/finding
tools are better on a `Search' menu.
