So I tried some offline maps and they are working.

Due to the fact that the folder is under user space it is recommended to make a symlink. On the long term I will move completely this folder to another location or make it optional. So that the tiles get saved in MyDocs or on a chooseable location.

For testing I downloaded some maps from here:
http://denker.bplaced.net/tb_eng.php

I created under MyDocs a folder maps and a subfolder de.
In the subfolder i put the extracted maps from zip archive.

Then I created a folder maps in /home/user/.gpxsee and made a symbolic link.
Code:
mkdir /home/user/.gpxsee/maps
cd /home/user/.gpxsee/maps
ln -s /home/user/MyDocs/maps/de de
Thats it. Start gpxsee and you have a new map item 'de'.
