I tried it on the LapTop of my daughter with TeXniccenter and MiKTeX
installation. I had to install xkeyval with pst-xkey, because I have
all my PSTricks files running with pst-xkey. But this should not
make any difference. However, I have no problems to build the
ps file and view it with gswin32, version 8.14 ...

here is the code I used:


\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{pstricks}
%\usepackage{pst-xkey}%
\usepackage{pst-map2d}

\begin{document}

\psset{path=C:/texmf/tex/latex/pst-geo/data,level=1}
    % this is my absolute path
\begin{pspicture}*(-7.5,-74)(2,-62)
    \psset{unit=30,nodeWidth=0.5mm}
\psset{type=8,latitude0=52.55,longitude0=13.3666666667,mapCountry=Germany}
    \WorldMap[level=4,maillage=true,borders=true,increment=2]
\end{pspicture}

\end{document}
