I can't see any Pokémon, but I can see the map, and it won't let me tap the screen. There also aren't any Pokéstops nearby me.

The game hasn't loaded properly, try restarting the app. But if this error is persistent, you could try reinstalling the game. Also make sure that you have a good internet connection, and GPS.
My wife installed this game on her mother's phone and had the exact same issue and they couldn't figure it out. I took a look at the phone and noticed GPS/location was turned off. I turned it on and it started working.
