For me anyway, this specific example almost certainly would mean
Another (World Map) because:

1) World Map is almost a compound word--very often used together.
2) The context would indicate most likely that Another (World Map) is
intended. Very very few times do we discuss maps of other worlds, so
unless you're at a sci-fi convention or something, it's almost
certainly A(WM).
