In FGC, I could start a game session and, after all my players had connected, I could load the maps for them... Right click, go to the spiderweb icon, and it would start pushing the maps out to them without loading them on their screens.

One of my players is in Australia (the rest of us are in the States) and it would be useful, especially with some of the highly detailed maps I'm using from Dungeon Alchemist, to be able to pre-load the map without showing them the map.

Is that still possible? Is there some line-of-sight trick to it that I'm missing?

Thank you for your time!

Yes. Just right click on the map and select share when no-one is connected. The maps will load when the player connects next. This is the same as what happened in FGC. (players won't know they are loading unless they go looking for them in the images list - but if you are using line of sight the map will just be black since their token won't be on it).

When you come to use the map in play right clicking and going to share will pop it up for them.
