Players on different maps, same campaign?

Is it possible to put players on different maps at the same time? My rp group play a game called Darker skies, where each player is the captain of a space ship therefore they're not all in the same 'party' which often means they are in different areas, is it possible to put individual players on different maps at any one time?

Not presently, no. The best way to split up a party right now is to copy/extend your campaign so you have two versions of the campaign running at the same time.
That is a shame! Oh well, I'll find a way to work around it :) I'll do as you've suggested m'lord mod.
The way I've done it in my campaign is to simply switch back and forth between turns. For example, if player A and B are on one map, and player C is on another, when it's either player A or B's turn I put all players on their map and then I move to the other map when player C's turn comes up.  It's pretty quick and not that difficult to do. I haven't tried copying the campaign, I suppose it depends on the level of separation you need.  Good luck!
Seconding Kristin's solution - I've tried it and the copy campaign solution works well. Alternately, if it is short term (ie two characters fight on different floors of the same building for one encounter) then you could switch back and forth between pages as needed.
Could you not make a really big map and place all the maps you're using on one page?   Break them up with a suitable border.   that would effectively solve the problem?
you should ask Falisa about that I saw her livestream a dnd game one time on twitch.tv and i beleive the maps where all on one 
@Chris, The game has both space areas and 'on foot' areas, such as the interior of space stations and the surface of planets/asteriods, making one big map would be difficult lol. I'll defo try the two map turn switch that Jacquesne J. suggested and the campaign copying.
