Title:
  Pick a room to display when loading brand new map

Status in Mudlet:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  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?
