Cool idea.
I'll even give it a whirl when you're ready.

You are full of surprises mate
This might be the best idea I've ever had, or the worst.
Just got an idea earlier, and am liking how it works for my world so far. If you want a random map, maybe for a one off or because you need some inspiration for your world map, you can use Minecraft. I just started a new world, and started mapping it in creative mode, giving me a nice few continents. Best part is, I don't need to use them as the normal size, so an island of 5 blocks that I like the shape of can become a month or two of travel in D&D time. Just thought I would share that with you, to see if it helped at all.

I don't Minecraft, could you show me a screen grab of what it would look like?
Cheers!
here is a 9x9 map on PC version. It only took a couple of minutes from one end to the other, but I can scale it however I want, and make this the whole coast of a continent, with a wide river to an inland sea in the north west.
EDIT: I meant 3x3, oops. 9 squares total.

and now, here is the same map, enlarge to a 5x5. Now it looks less like a coast with an inland sea, and more like a few large islands in the middle of two seas. easy fodder for a one off, IMO, and even easier to enlarge more. or, I can mix and match areas to make one cohesive continent, depending on how I attach the maps to the wall. I am sure it won't work for everyone, but I am glad I thought of this for my sake, since I am incapable of drawing up a good map.
EDIT:
and lastly, with some wool I have made a house symbol, so now I can just say there is a town in that bay.
