How do i use the map_server node of the navigation2 package with a greyscale .png?

I try to publish a greyscale image as a map in ROS2 Foxy on Ubuntu Focal and show it in RVIZ2.
However, following the documentation i get only an error using the Nav2 map_server.

I have three files
a map.yaml:

image: map.png    
resolution: 0.1    
origin: [2.0, 3.0, 1.0]    
negate: 0    
occupied_thresh: 0.65    
free_thresh: 0.196    

a param.yaml:

#param.yaml
map_server:
ros__parameters:
    yaml_filename: "map.yaml"
    yaml_topic: "map"
    map_id: "map"

and greyscale .png,

I used the following two commands in the files folder
I tried local paths and global paths to the param.yaml file

ros2 run nav2_map_server map_server __params:=param.yaml

ros2 run nav2_util lifecycle_bringup map_server

The map server is starting, however the following error is issued:

 [INFO] [1657539590.016173007] [map_server]: Creating

Because my application of the map_sever required a launch file anyway, i went with the answer in https://answers.ros.org/question/398095/ros2-nav2-map_server-problems-loading-map-with-nav2_map_server/.
