That's pretty cool.

It'd be even cooler if they had parts of the underground charted, and could sell you maps at a high price.

They will leave through any spot on the map they can reach.  They'll only enter the map in certain areas, usually the surface map edge but sometimes only from one side of the map, but when a caravan decides to leave they'll choose any random spot on the map edge, even if it's underground.

I don't think it's random so much as closest. If you put your depot deep down they'll always exit through the caverns.
