Just to point out, if it helps, that my TOC entries are picked directly in the text and the name of the TOC entry is essentially an entire paragraph of text. I have to do this because I have no chapter markers or anything else I could use for a chapter title and I don't want to have an endless list of TOC entries, all of them displayed as "Unnamed."
I'm not quite sure what you are doing here - are you converting to epub from some other format?

Your TOC only needs 1 entry - so point it at the start of your text.

In your toc.ncx, where you had the invalid "<navMap />" tag, you would now have something like this:
Code:
    <navMap>
        <navPoint id="navPoint-1" playOrder="1">
            <navLabel>
                <text>Start</text>
            </navLabel>
            <content src="Text/Section0001.xhtml"/>
        </navPoint>
    </navMap>
Now, when anyone clicks on their TOC button in their ebook viewer, they'll see one entry: "Start" which will jump them to the beginning of the text.
