A single keystroke combination - <command/shift> "?" (or the menu 
command "Look Up Call on WWW") will display whatever image your QSO has 
uploaded - in your default web browser.

I feel that this is preferable to automatically downloading 20-30k of 
image data on each lookup - this would get unwieldy during periods of 
heavy auto-lookup - as in a contest.

Using the handoff to the browser also allows the QRZ site to display 
their adverts which I think is only fair since they are paying for the 
hosting of these images.

Another keystroke combination - <command> "/" (or the "Map Quest" menu 
command) will take you to your QSO's Map Quest map at street level.
