Description
a Zendesk User has a story where the default center for the map doesn't focus attention on the majority of points.
We should be able to compute the average center of all the points on the map, or perhaps simply allow users to set the centerpoint in the editor.
If we're considering this, would we consider allowing users to override the zoom level on the overview screen too?

Research direction
Start by locating the overview map center calculation and the editor entry points for map settings. Compare the proposed average center with user-selected center and zoom options, then clarify which behavior is intended before implementation. Done means the overview focuses appropriately and any selected center or zoom persists as specified.
