I personally have several maps, used in my adventures excavations and general lolling about.
but many of them are stored away and are rarely looked at or appreciated!
so here is my IDEA:
taking a map of your region and framing it!
the map can then be viewed & adds a lovely aesthetic to your home/fortress/castle/dungon/hole/pile of dirt
here is a quick shoop of it in my SMP:
obviously the map will become "static" and while retaining all map info will loose the player icon on it.
I thought of this idea while playing multi-player as a cool "visitors" board for new players to the server
I also know of 3rd party web browser based maps but see an in-game one as a quaint addition!
what do you guys think?

90% sure it's been suggested, but it would still be a good addition, it would be good if it showed where the map is like a "you are here" on those roadside maps
oh, looked about but must have missed the other threads.
I did notice much talk about 3rd party mappers and hand help map improvements but not using any as picture-frames.
a representation of dots for other players (multiplayer) would be sufficient?
It would be useful to track people and see what new has been built since you left.
perhaps even show up neutral mobs? like sheep or pigs?
It'd also be kind of cool if you could use a handheld map on a wall map to fill in blank spaces on the handheld map (basically copying down the information on the wall map).

shouldn't be to hard to convert a map into a static image for a picture frame...
any modders opinion would be great =)
