How can I make move the camera ingame to a vertical top-down view of the whole map? Consider me completely new to the whole camera business.

Make a camera in the center of the map, and then modify its angle of attack to 270 (degrees), far-Z to 10,000 (or less, 10,000 is the max), and then just mess around with the distance depending on how large your map is. ;) Just note that this may lag when computers try to render the entire map at once.
This camera tutorial might be helpful to get you started off.
