Cool, I should try to get a N900 too.

But, but that could be a bug.  Try running the demos this way:
CHAMPLAIN_DEBUG=network demos/launcher-gtk
or
CHAMPLAIN_DEBUG=all demos/launcher-gtk

This will provide you with debug information, and you will at least know
if tiles are being downloaded.  I assume you are not even seeing the
error tile? (which is a grey tile with an X at the upper left corner).

Last time I was able to try libchamplain on a Maemo 5 device, it was
almost 3 months before the 0.3.0 release, therefore, there is a lot of
code that changed since.  Plus, we were using Clutter 0.8 back then.
Once of the issue I had back then was that the map would disapear as
soon as I would move it.  It seems to be about the same issue you are
having!  But I didn't investigate it further.

May be the coordinate system is miss computed on it...
