Does anyone know how to simply save map as an image ?
I tried to use geoserver to serve a map through a wms service but this solution seems to be very difficult to maintain.
After spending a lot of time, I didn't find another solution to simply put an openlayer map in a view page display and add it a save As button or a similar behavior on right button

More details
For any kind of answer you will probably have to describe more accurately what you are doing to render your map. What modules you are using, what details you are placing on a map, etc, etc.
Some details ... after long Time
After a too long period of inactivity and to answer to question about what is used in my project, the following list gives the main modules used in it.
I am using the following module under Drupal 6
Openlayer 2 with views 2.
The project consists in displaying county filled with background color according to a value rangej
It works fine to display such maps in a page view under the openlayer client but i have no solution
to save the result in an image file as i could do for example through a wms call to place image in a page and then use the "save as image" function from the browser.
If this description is not enough clear, please tell me what sort of details to add
Possible
Ah... funny this thread some come up again.
I recently wrote a script to generate PDF files from tracks. This pulls the background tiles from Google Maps then overlays vector drawn tracks from the Drupal DB.
Works pretty well, although I'm not sure about the terms of service for using tiles in this way so didn't put this live.
