[OSGeo Africa] Historic Topographic Map Series of Namibia now online

[Immo Blecher]

OK, I got it,

You have to open another layer with a projection first, e.g. South 
African outline or something.

Then you add the XYZ tiles. If you start a new project with only the XYZ 
tiles then they don't show, even if you zoom to layer...I think this is 
a projection issue (and the {-y}).

Maybe something worth knowing!

Regards and thanks again
