Hello all,

It has occurred to me that, despite that some issues are fixed with the Maps component, it still always opens on Null Island (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_Island). This is an issue, as we display routes on the maps component. Now every time I open the window, I have to pan to the route. Seeming some routes I use for testing are about 700-800km, it's an easy find, but some of our users might only have routes of around 10-15km, which makes such routes much harder to find.

Does anybody else experience this with the Maps component? Why would it always open on Null Island? I do notice that only happens when you open it the first time, after opening it a second time, it does it correctly, and zooms appropriately on routes whether they are small or large.
