[MainUI] Map picker should center on location set in regional settings

[rkoshak]

The problem

When the map picker first comes up to choose a lat/lon, it is fully zoomed out centered over Europe.

Your suggestion

It would be more user-friendly if the map picker used the location set in the regional settings (if it's set, current behavior is fine if not) and use a lot more zoomed in level. If a user is choosing a location for their home automation, they are likely wanting something reasonably close to home so something showing 100 mi/200 km (I know that's not the same) or so would be about right.

As a bonus, if it can remember where it was the last time it was used that would be nice. I just created a rule template that uses a location context. It's great that it lets users use the map picker but they need to pick two points and when opening the new map one needs to zoom and scroll all over again.
