Public bug reported:

When a player opens Mudlet and download a map for the first time, they
are not presented with a map like you'd expect. Instead the mapper says
"No map or valid position" (but I just downloaded a map!).

Besides getting the map makers to specify a default position in the
maps, until one is there, some heuristics could be used:

* current GMCP or ATCP room position, if one is available
* pick largest area and select the room in the centre (so they at least see something, even if it's not correct and where they are)

Any others?
