Hi, you do not have to use the map ID of the already made world map, you can position the player's icon anywhere no matter what map the player is on. If you want it to track the player's position via their x/y coordinates on the current map, you can enter in the map ID of your already made world map. If you want to position it via plugin parameters, you can also do that.

Basically what I'd like to do, is have it so there's some kind of indicator showing where the player is in the world, as well as some kind of indicator that shows where the player can go to and where they can't go to right away until they've progressed in the story.

You can add map markers either via the Initial Settings parameter for Map Markers, or via plugin command "Create Marker". You can also edit marker visibility/position and delete markers once you no longer need them. Initial map markers will be there at the beginning of the game.
