The \*.png file is named "currentmap.png" and can be found in the /bin directory of your system. The map extent (rectangle containing real world coordinates) can be pasted into any application by choosing Edit-Paste or \[Ctrl\]\+ V. These four coordinates describing the extent of your map picture in world coordinates are needed in the declarations section of the report ModuleConfigFile where you declare this summary.

Wiki Markup
Remark: Every time you use the above mentioned \[F12\] features, the png file in the /bin directory and the clipboard is overwritten\! In making series of maps you should copy/rename your png file after using this option. You should also paste the map extent in a text editor or spreadsheet directly before repeating the operations with another map extent in the FEWS-Explorer.
