Thanks for your offline help, Luis. It's not clear to me why the photoscenery was not showing up, but it works now. One possibility, as you pointed, was the fact I had multiple maps of the same area. I'm fairly confident that was the source of the image registration problem, as it now works fine.
I have more questions, but I'm going to read some more SDK stuff first.
Thanks again,
Jon
