At the risk of harassing the core developers, I do think we should read
a .tfw, AND the geotiff header natively. That's a weak spot in native
image use.

I've never used a geotiff in Linux either...is there a trick? I've got
the .tif and .tfw, both world readable. The .tif is selected in Map
Chooser. Xasitr knows it's a 7.5'--when I click the 24k button the
.tif toggles selected/unselected.
There's the problem. Xastir doesn't read .tfw files. It does read
.fgw files. See the README.MAPS file for how to create your own
.fgd for each .tif if you don't have one. You only need a few lines
that Xastir needs, not the entire normal contents of a .fgd.
Here are some examples that do work, so you can verify your
installation:
