Hey, I just got this game, too. IGN informed me that holding down B and SELECT will get you the map. In FFII, you have to get a certain ring first before using this feature (which I believe is noted in the GBA game manual). Not knowing where to go is a real pain in FFI, so that's why I started up on FFII, but GameFAQs will help you along (esp. with the help of the world map).
