Ways to export or copy a created map?

I'm making some maps for one of my characters but I'm wondering how I can give it to my DM. I have my own campaign, in which I can create the map, but it seems like I can't send it to my DM's campaign. Is there a way to give him my created maps? Is it a Pro feature or ?

Any map created inside roll20 is linked to the creators account and is none transferable. For those that want to share maps they created, they will either have to create the map with an outside program such as gimp or a few other methods but they all involve using a 3rd party software such as gimp to stitch back together before and giving it to the GM.
Currently there is no feature to transfer maps from one user to another.  This is not a Pro feature or anything like that. There is a suggestion for it though, if you want to go throw your vote on it. There are some work-arounds though, including using the Print Screen button and basically frankensteining the map on another program.
Well that's disappointing. Are there any links that tell how one could use Gimp to work that and/or the Print Screen way?

If your GM makes you a Co-GM (perhaps temporarily) then you can make a map as a Co-GM in their game. If your GM has a Pro subscription, they can create a side game that has you assigned as Co-GM, you can make the map there, then Pro GM can use Transmogrify to move the map into the main game where you are a regular Player, Non-Co-GM. <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Game_Management#Game_Detai" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Game_Management#Game_Detai</a>... <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Transmogrifier" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Transmogrifier</a> Note, these solutions don't work for a map you already made in a separate campaign you created, but these methods work for permitting a player to make a map in your GM's games.

I've got a few mapmaking demonstrations/tutorials up on youtube. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRowqkTJFQBxGbe_r" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRowqkTJFQBxGbe_r</a>...
