I have also given the map server a try, and have been unable to get it
working, either from inside QLGT+GDAL, or from JOSM (which has a easy to
use WMS configuration wizard, and seems incapable of doing anything with
the URL above).

After some tests on the above URL, I also doubt it, no matter what the
website says. I've found alternative URL for the same service, see:
http://columbo.nrlssc.navy.mil/ogcwms/servlet/WMSServlet?REQUEST=ServiceLinks

This seems to work more closely to a standard WMS , but when it comes to
downloading tiles, every request ends up in a HTTP error 500 from the server.

The only way I see to see if that service is useable by GDAL+QLGT is doing
some traffic capture (ethereal+winpcap for Windows) when CommpeGPS is
running and downloading, to see the URL used to get the tiles. It's beyond
my understanding why a service offered as WMS 1.1.1 compatible, doesn't
seem to work that way.
