Im confused why this isnt working....
"isn't working" is a poor description. DId you get an error message when
compiling, and error message when running, or di the output differ from
what you expected. If the latter, describe what you expected and what
you saw.
When I fix your code and run it it works OK for me (I had to create a
map.png). See below for probable error on your part.
Any ideas? What have I stupidly missed?
Thanks,

You don't check whether the file exists or the getImage succeeds. This
is where your problem lies.
I'd create a new File("./map.png") and check file.exists();
I'd check that image.getHeight(null) <> -1;
g.drawImage(image, 0,0,this);
}
