An alternative way to save an image is to save the URL that produced it. The URL can then be entered in a browser at any time and Voyager will recreate the same map.

To access a map's URL, select URL > Save to open the Save Image window. NOTE: If nothing appears to happen when you select Save, a window named Save Image is probably already open. Simply locate that window and activate it. In the Save Image window, just below the GIF and Postscript options, select and copy the URL text that appears. Paste it into another document to save it.
