From what I read this could be because the fragment is not yet fully displayed and therefore no map exists?

Correct.

Any ideas how to fix it?

Actually use the layout file, by calling setContentView(), and get rid of all the FragmentTransaction stuff. You can then retrieve the already-created SupportMapFragment and use it:

setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

SupportMapFragment mapFrag=(SupportMapFragment)getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.mapFragment);
