I'll be honest. When I first got my N800 and downloaded MM i didn't get it either. I thought a blank screen was all it was too (well maybe the map of the entire US of A). So I kinda understand this fellows thinking though I wouldn't have posted it here in the manner he did. It was really by accident that I hit the zoom key and figured out what was going on.

Perhaps there should a be quick "set up" screen or something that kind of points total noobs in a direction to get up and going in the most basic way and have that screen only appear the first time the app is run.

Just a suggestion.
