[visualization-api] Setting the Default Map as Australia

[Shane Schmidt]

Guys.. newbie here. Trying to set the default map to Australia with an 
appropriate zoom. Code came with the example. Eventually I will swap 
address for postcode. When I did this I ended up in Germany with an 
australian postode.

any help is appreciated.
