Your navmap part of NCX code may like this

Code:

<navMap>
    
</navMap>

It's a blank NCX file without TOC, such epub can be read properly
on ADE and iPad, but can't pass epubcheck, which will report

element "navMap" incomplete; missing required element "navPoint"
first playOrder value is not 1

ePub Maker before 1.2 also generates such code if there's no TOC in Word,
also received such error code from epubcheck.
I guess Smashword also has such a problem.

You may have to insert a navpoint manually to suppress this error, or you may use another tool to convert.

By the way, the error tip from epubcheck is generally weird, misleading or meaningless.
