Color-coding the tiles would make it a lot easier to look at the map as a whole. And it'd be nice if it were all one image, so you could easily save it.

A way to control size of the map. Also, it seems a little strange- one hex mountains side by side with grassland squares or hills? This seems to be more on a world map scale, rather than an encounter scale. Why would someone want that randomly generated?

Also the complete randomness throws it off. Lots of single-hex water, so no oceans or anything.

Try it with a lower 'randomness' score.

Yeah, ok, that worked better. Though I am with the others here, in that it is very easy and far more rewarding/useful to make your own map for your world.

Random map? Boot up Dwarf Fortress.

What a ridiculous game.

If you need a random cave map, try:

The results are great, organic looking cave maps.

I've now added the option to create a colour map.
