I think that what is happening is that your script displays satellite
images in two frames and you are not explicitly telling MAP which
frame to use when drawing the map/using navigation to draw the map.

Here is pseudo code for what I am recommending:


IMGDISP <dataset> 1 <keywords>
MAP X -1 DASH=3 X 6 FILE=OUTLHPOL LIN=1 455 IMA=1 GRA=1 ;MAP L 1 LIN=1 455 
IMA=1 GRA=1
MAP X 2 FILE=OUTBRAZILST IMA=1 GRA=1
GU MAKE 1 YELLOW GRA=1
WAIT 1
FRMSAVE X VIS-BRASIL-HD

IMGDISP <dataset2> 2 <keywords>
MAP X -1 DASH=3 X 6 FILE=OUTLHPOL LIN=1 455 IMA=2 GRA=2 ;MAP L 1 LIN=1 455 
IMA=2 GRA=2
MAP X 2 FILE=OUTBRAZILST IMA=2 GRA=2
GU MAKE 1 YELLOW GRA=1
WAIT 1
FRMSAVE X VIS-BRASIL-HD

OR

SF 1
IMGDISP <dataset> 1 <keywords>
MAP X -1 DASH=3 X 6 FILE=OUTLHPOL LIN=1 455;MAP L 1 LIN=1 455
MAP X 2 FILE=OUTBRAZILST
GU MAKE 1 YELLOW
WAIT 1
FRMSAVE X VIS-BRASIL-XX

SF 2
IMGDISP <dataset2> 2 <keywords>
MAP X -1 DASH=3 X 6 FILE=OUTLHPOL LIN=1 455;MAP L 1 LIN=1 455
MAP X 2 FILE=OUTBRAZILST
GU MAKE 1 YELLOW
WAIT 1
FRMSAVE X VIS-BRASIL-HD

Don't pay any attention to the positional or keyword parameters in
the above pseudo code EXCEPT for the IMA= and GRA= keywords.

Cheers,

Tom
