best way to map out minecraft map in survival

So, if you've got a map wall at your base, and framed maps at a handful of villages or friend's bases or etc, the copy of the map in your hand will be marked with the location of all of those things. If you've copied your map a handful of times in a cartography table (your map in the top slot, a blank map in the bottom slot), a mark will appear on all copies of the map you've framed at the location of the framed map. If you place a map in it, the map will be displayed (like a framed map hung on your IRL wall). Once you've got one, you can place it on the side of a block and place stuff in it (lots of people put them on their chests with an item of whatever is being stored in the chest placed in the frame as a way of labelling chests) by clicking on it with the item you want to place. You can make item frames with a piece of leather and a handful of sticks. It CAN be a bit of a hassle, I tend to keep a Map shulker box in my enderchest just to make sure I've got my multiple different maps (particularly for the End) and map making supplies always with me. If you've seen youtube videos with people having huge maps on display, those are map walls - just multiple maps placed in item frames next to each other to appear to be a single very large map.

No - you can expand them up to 4 levels, but after that you have to make more maps. You can also hold the map in your offhand in both bedrock and java to get it persistent off to the side (this is what I usually do). To see it easier, you look at the map directly - I forget the exact action you use, but you either look down or use the map while it is selected in your hot bar and it will improve the angle. If playing on bedrock, place copies of the map in item frames and those copies will be marked on the map. I believe if you name the banner first, that name will also show up on the map (I think). If playing on java, you can place banners and then click on them with the map to mark waypoints on the map. To mark stuff, it depends on whether you are playing java or bedrock (BTW, if you are playing bedrock, use a cartography table and add a compass to your map to make it a locator map, it will make your life MUCH easier). To map out the rest of the area, go to an area off of your current map and make a new map and then open it for the first time while in that area - this will create a map for that area and allow you to keep mapping.
