The filename needs to end with .jpg just because that's what Maemo Mapper looks for, but the format of the file can be anything supported by GdkPixmap (including PNG). The same applies to the map data. Although all the map files have the .jpg extension, they are not all JPEG files. Street maps, for example, or almost always PNGs.
