Minecraft: How to easily create (in-game) maps in creative
Note: the word map in this question refers to the maps you can create in game from the world, not to the world itself.
On my minecraft server running in creative mode, we just started to create a map-wall of our world in 1:2 scale. This means:
- get a new map
- go to the area of which you need a map
- open the map to initialize it
- use a crafting table to extend the map to factor 1:2
- move around to fill the map
- repeat until you have all maps you need
- place all maps onto frames on a wall to get a large, seamless map of the world
Though I guess you can't avoid to move around to fill a map, steps 3 an 4 are a bit annoying. So, is there any way to speed this up? For instance a command which gives an uninitialized map with 1:2 factor directly?

I found this.
You might want to use this command:
/give @p minecraft:filled_map 1 0 {scale:2,xCenter:0,zCenter:0}
/give @p minecraft:filled_map [amount] [map number] {scale:[scale],xCenter:[x],zCenter:[y]}
For [map number], enter the next available map number. Look in your world's /data/ folder for map_0.dat The highest number plus one is what you want to enter. If you have never created a map, enter 0. Make sure you always add 1 after using the command.
You can find your world folder by clicking on your world then pressing Edit, then clicking the button that says something like "Open world folder" (1.11)

Answer 2
To skip all the steps is impossible at the moment, but to skip steps 3-4 is possible!
To do this you will need this command:
/give [playername] minecraft:filled_map [amount of maps] [number of map]
This will give the player(/give) a map that is filled. Put in the number of maps you want and then the scaling you want.
