Mapopolis Map not working

I just purchased a serial cable to connect my Axim to my Garmin GPS III Pilot. The interface works fine, and I am able to show my position on my Axim through several different GPS programs.

It seems to me that mapopolis is the best Pocket PC GPS software, so I went to their website, installed the software, and downloaded a demo map.

I live in the county of San Bernardino, CA, and when I load up that demo map, all I get is a light brown screen. I was able to dowload a demo map of LA county, and sync with my GPS, and see my position, way off the map, so I think that I will be able to get everything working.

However, I don't want to pay for a map if it ends up being nothing.

Does anyone here have the San Bernardino Mapopolis map, and has gotten it to work?

It worked for me. You may be zoomed in pretty tightly and between roads. Try tapping the - or -x2 icons on the bottom. The map seems to come up with the center being just south and east of the intersection of I-15 and I-40.

Thank you JakeRich. You were totally right. I hit the zoom out button a few times, and there it was.

I feel kind of stupid for not figuring that out on my own, but hey, at least it's working now.
