I have a map in a layout which is tied to a listing of locations. Ideally I want the map to render to show the whole of Ireland on page load so there is a proper context for seeing the country. What is annoying is where there are only a certain number of location pins the view of the country is cropped. See the first image. From experience to get the full view of the country you need to have a location pin in the North and another down at the southern tip of the country. I think there should be a way to set a default zoom level sot that the country can be seen fully like in the second image upload.

I have looked at some of the following suggestions but they don't seem to work?

Some test so far:

If I use the following the map does its supper zoom out, seems to work and you can click into the clustered pins:
general_zoom="1" fitbounds="off"

But, if you start to adjust the general zoom in closer it start to look broken:
general_zoom="3" fitbounds="off"

The above is working but is not entering around the pins. You can see them if you drag the map down.

Hello,

You can try the attributes general_center_lat and general_center_lon, see our document:
https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/maps/maps-shortcodes/#wpv-map-render
general_center_lat and general_center_lon. Optional, coordinates for the map center when fitbounds is set to off

My issue is resolved now. Thank you! That worked perfectly.
