Do yu mean like Winnie the Pooh from Kingdom Hearts?

Shouldn't this be in programming or something?

Alright, I believe you want to do the following:

Throughout the game, you obtain books that have maps of certain places. You can open the individual books to view the maps, but there's also a full book of maps where you can view them all at once.

Is that about right?

Well, I think he means how to use a field item to open a map. Just make the map book a switch item, and switch a Common Event's trigger on.

The Common Event should have:





 >





[and so on for each area in the game] {This makes it so that the cursor starts out on where you are}

On the map book Map, put it so the visitable areas have a below-hero, parallel-proccessed event, set off by the switch called,"{whatever the area you're in is}," that's a blinking orb.{this makes it so when you're in Grooglebop, the dot blinks}
On page 2, make the same thing, but with no switch, and make it a solid grey orb.{Makes it so if you're not in Grooglebop, the dot on Grooglebop stays still}

Also make each event record who's in your party in Hero 1, Hero, 2, Hero 3, and Hero 4 variables; then empty your party.
And if you want, you could make it so when you click the event with your hero pointer, it shows a message with the name and info of the area.

Lastly, make it so that if you press the cancel/menu button through key input proccessing/password, and making a common event that checks the Hero 1 through Hero 4 variables, and places them in your party accordingly, then references and teleports to the memorized position. {this lets you go back to your game}
