Saving Player Notes on Map

Hi, I'm looking at the feasibility of using D20 for an online game focused around a map. The idea is that players will be able to share notes / drawings on a map. So with that in mind I'd appreciate answers to the following: 1. Can I share a fairly large map image and will the players be able to zoom in/out? 2. I gather players can draw on the map, can they also write text (or put a pin linking to a note)? 3. I gather the drawings are stored between sessions and will be visible to anyone joining the session. Can I save the map image with the player notes to my computer? 4. How fragile are the player notes/drawings and will drawings be shown on the map from players who are not present? Thanks!

Yes (they can draw on the map), and I believe they can write text on the map.  3. Yes, anything on the map is stored between sessions and will be visible to anyone joining the session. No, you can't save/export the map and/or notes to your computer 4. Notes/Drawings are there until they are deleted, regardless whether the person who drew/wrote them is present or not.
Thanks, that sounds very promising (although I would have appreciated being able to save/backup the map to my computer).

There's a  suggestion on the Suggestion Forum for that. You may want to go throw a vote on that idea (assuming you have votes). :)
The current workaround is to take screenshots of sections of the map and stitch them together in a graphics editing program.
