So To get M working on N900, you have to copy a valid geotiff file to MyDocs/MyMaps directory. Only the tif file.

The setup is here http://qlandkarte.org/index.php?opti...d=13&Itemid=14

Once you press the rebuild database button, the maps should appear on the list below, if it is not the case, it mean the tif have wrong format. to make some test you can get here a OSM world map exported to geotiff -> http://linuxbox2.free.fr/Bugtest/basemap_wgs84_x.tif

To export correct tiff with GT, please look at the picture here http://linuxbox2.free.fr/Bugtest/qlandkarte.JPG

Fabrice,

Thanks for your reply. I put the test .tif file you mention above with the link in the MyMaps directory, started up QlandkarteM, did the map database rebuild, which did not work.

I had to put MyMaps in the root directory, and only then de map database rebuild made the .tiff show up. However this map does not show up in the basic 'map'-screen of QlandkarteM, either with or without having a gps-fix. I keep seeing the yellow empty background, nothing of a map.

Did I forget to do something extra in order to get the map to work in QlandkarteM ?
