So most of you probably have seen some movies or games with a big table with a huge map of the surrounding land on it? What if we had the same thing in minecraft? We could add a war room to our fortress! And pretend we are setting up for an attack!
How to make:
Place a map on a wall or table silly!
So whenever you place a map next to another map it expands it. The first marker could be where the map is placed, and it only shows the map that is placed. The player can right click little locations on the map to mark stuff with green, white, blue, red, or black flags!
Let me explain the map placement more detailed.
So you put a map on a table but it is 1x1. Then you place another until you get to a 4x4 map. Since maps have a limited view of distance you can place them down next to eachother to make the map bigger and its field of view.
I'm not sure how we would go on about discovering the land before we place the map so it wouldn't be blank. So we'll just let the map reveal everything while it's placed :3
You could have 1x1 treasure maps!
2x2 wall maps!
3x3 war maps!
and a 12x6 canvas map in front of your throne or on top of your business table!
The max cap would be 16x16
If you try placing a map thats already attached to the 16x16 table of maps it would just go blank.
This is one of the more.. good suggestion, and It is a good idea. But I have found a problem.
You could just make a giant map and see whats around you without acualy GOING there. (You could find NPC villages, and jungle and desert temples.)
Sorry!

I'd assume that you'd craft the map, explore around to remove the fog, and place it down. If you didn't explore enough the fog would still be on the map after you placed it down.
The only real innovation to the subject matter is placing it laterally on a "table" (flat surface), which I think isn't really enough new information to justify a new post (here is a planning table that is very similar to that concept). I want combine-able, place-able maps, but you're better off supporting the existing threads.
Minecraft has an incredible amount of potential, and I think this idea would be freaking awesome if Minecraft chose to take a more RPG/Strategy path, but this is unlikely. Great idea though, anyways
Take the picture as an example

It would be AMAZING for roleplay/war/PVP servers!

Look, placing maps on a wall has been suggested to the moon and back:
Also, marking a map with icons is not a new concept either:
