World Map or Regional Map
I have been working on some map Ideas for a few months now and I am finally ready to try and put them out there. But the issue I am having is deciding would it be better and easier to just stick to a regional map and then expand to a world map for my players?

If you will only be playing in that region for a while I'd do a regional map and be working on a separate world map in the background while they're busy fighting for their lives in the first region.
Then when they get to the edge of that first region I would do a third map of the region they are moving into, based on the layout of the world map.
It depends on how you wish to do the planning. If you have an idea of how you want your world to look, I would start there. But if you don't, it is better ti start with a regional map, and then gather some ideas as you play.
The advantage of having a world map is that it is easier to be consistent with the information you feed your players, but it can also restrict things a bit as well.
