If I understand you right, this is not really a QLandkarteGT question, as QLGT 
is not involved in the process. You take tile files (6*.img) which you got from 
somewhere, openmtb,map.org I suppose, and you want to create a gmapsupp.img 
with 
mkgmap. That should normally work and there are lots of pages on the internet 
where is explained how to proceed, in particular for openmtb maps:

http://openmtbmap.org/de/tutorials/send-maps-to-your-gps/mkgmap/

One reason for the map not showing up in the map list are problems with naming, 
file location and file transfer. For example, if you have a Etrex HCx, you must 
either use a software which uses the specific garmin transfer protocol, such as 
QLGT, sendmap or Basecamp, or put the device in USB mode and copy the map to 
the 
folder Garmin on the memory card. If you use the copy method and as the 
transfer 
is rather slow, it is important to release the USB device and to wait until 
your 
operating system says something like "device can now be removed".

Another thing to try is to add the family-id option to mkgmap. Or use gmt 
(=gmaptool) instead of mkgmap.

Rainer
