Allow one to centralise the map around their country (by default the one they set in the settings, but this should be a configurable option in the gnome-maps settings)

Bug Description
Currently the map seems to be centralised around the UK, or at least around Europe, but not all who use gnome-maps will be in the UK, or Europe for that matter, so I think that it would be really good if the map would by default centralise the country which the person has set as the country they are located in in their settings. Though of course there should be an option in the gnome-maps settings to override this so that one can select any location as the default one for the map to be centralised around.
I think that this would be easier to do if something like this was already in place bug #1577824. I am running Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 with GNOME 3.28, but this issue is also present on Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 with GNOME 3.20.

If you have location services enabled I think it should use that to set the map position (although maybe you need to click the "locate" button
