World map generator?

Is there some kind of world map generator that I can use/pay for that will generate a world map for me? Or someone I can pay to make one for me?

Moved to On-Topic.
If you're just looking to generate a planet, with ocean and landmasses, without too much detail as to other aspects, this works really well: Donjon Fractal World Generator
@Phnord Yea, something general and "Uncharted" I would end up making custom maps based on the randomized version
Beyond Donjon, Wizardawn has a nice one (along with a slew of other random generators that I find really useful at the table). Hexographer , a java-based mapping program with a free version, has a random map generator along with the ability to create sub-maps within hexes. Not sure if those are free or pay features, unfortunately.

I recommend asking and reading on another forum called Cartographer's Guild. MAP FORUM LINK: <a href="http://www.cartographersguild.com/forum.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.cartographersguild.com/forum.php</a> Cartographer's Guild has threads linking & reviewing map-making programs, and their forum has a section where you can Request Maps (free or paid, your choice what you want to offer). A nice program that I use to create whole world-sized maps is Fractal Terrains by ProFantasy. PROGRAM LINK: <a href="http://www.profantasy.com/products/ft_details.asp" rel="nofollow">http://www.profantasy.com/products/ft_details.asp</a> FT3 costs around $50, and generates globe maps (good for continents, oceans, sometimes rivers and mountains; but not good for placing Cities and countries/states unless you incorporate its output with other programs like Photoshop or GIMP or Campaign Cartographer 3).
