Ever since I started making games on RPG maker, I've had issues making a good world map.
So, I consulted one of my wonderful friends. (in rea life, not online ==")

And I got some GREAT tips and decided to share it with you all.

First, click on 1/4 on the view thing
Second, start making huge overlapping circles using the circle tool.
    - it is recommended to start with a 245 by 150 map.
    - it is also recommended to start from the middle.
Third, use the mountains chip and make overlapping circles on random areas.
    - make sure you're not covering the entire island...
Forth, start adding trees using the same method.
Fifth, add a few lakes and rivers... (they shouldn't be too close to each other.

Hope this small starting tip help you make a wonderful overworld map.

BTW, go to youtube.com and look up "TheMize18". He makes wonderful overworld tips too. :D
