A few more details please.

Is there anything in example.MAP?  If there are no hosts defined, then
nothing will show up.

Yes, I have it mostly working (Mine is heavily hacked and displays EIGRP
neighbor states between routers, and is supposed to query MRTG's rrd
files for bandwidth, but something broke with that and the bandwidth
doesn't display.  I think I'm getting NaN on my last-update query, but
haven't spent much time playing with it lately).

I haven't heard of any other mapping programs that understand Hobbit.
I've though about using weathermap ( http://netmon.grnet.gr/weathermap/
or  http://weathermap4rrd.tropicalex.net/ ) but I'd have to hack that up
quite a bit to make it do what I want, and I haven't had a large enough
block of dedicated time to think about doing that.
