I am new to Quantum GIS. I just happened to browse to a tutorial on georeferencing in QGIS and I found it easy and interesting.

I also calibrated the map and saved the points as per WSG84 standard. Now after I closed the software and when I restarted I am unable to see the coordinates when I load the GeoTIFF image.

Can you please guide me where I am going wrong? Why am I not able to load the coordinates? How can this problem be solved?

what do you mean by "saved the points" did you create a vector points layer as shape file and now you can't see the units? try set project crs from layer. – yair suari Aug 11 '12 at 8:50
WGS84? Are you trying to georeference the map image using lat/lon coordinates? – nhopton Aug 11 '12 at 11:23
It is also not clear what do you mean with "I am unable to see the coordinates". – Giovanni Manghi Aug 11 '12 at 15:16

The GCP points are saved in a file named < filename >.< fileformat >.points in the same directory. If you start georeferencing Tool again, these points are loaded again, and you can modify them. It is not possible to save them as a vector layer.
