HI,

By default the maps are stored on the same location where you run the command with the names to map.pgm and map.yaml.

If you want to specify a different path and filename you can use the -f option. There are quite more parameters, and instructions on how to use map_server on its wiki page http://wiki.ros.org/map_server
