map seed from saved games?

Is it possible to get the map seed from saved games?
In CIV5, you were able to save the map next to your game progress. No such thing in VI. It's nice to save your map if it turned out to be a very good one.
I looked into the .Civ6save file quickly with textEdit, but nothing there at first sight
It might also be nice to have a thread here with people posting their personal favourite maps, by posting the seed number with maybe a screenshot or two in SPOILER

What I do is generate a quick multiplayer local game. This will save a "multiplayer" folder in your save folder. Move your solo file in there and load it up through the multiplayer screen where the seed will be revealed to your eyes. Enjoy enjoying Mali.

Thanks got it.
I found out the number isn't the actual map, though...
For the game to load the exact same map, one has to exactly set all the different map parameters as before in game setup, and then put in the seed number.
I thought the number was the actual map.
If you put in the seed number without matching the map settings, the new map just has similar features. Not exactly what I'm looking for.

Well you course if you dont match the parameters that physically match then you won't get the same map. The size has to be the same but you can change the initial load out like city states, tribals etc and civs by just using the one seed value. Other then that im Not sure what your asking. It seems to answer the context of your post

What I do is:
- save configuration, name it: current game
- start game
- if I like the map, I get the seed number from MP setup screen
- load prev configuration current game
- input the seed number
- save as new configuration with appropriate name

It's a rather tedious workaround for saving your maps. But at least it's possible, right? ;-)

The fastest way to get map+game seeds if you just have a save game and a notepad:

You don't need to load it into MP. You can get the seeds just by hovering over the version number at the bottom of the SP "pause" screen:
