Display a mao on opening that does NOT show the mercator view

Beginner...

Can anyone tell me why when I open a page with a map on it, I see the mercator view i.e. the whole world, with a pin in the middle showing my location?

Sometimes the map will display the local view, but not always, anyone say what I am missing?

If I click zoom 12 times or so, I see the view I want.

Would prefer not to post URL as just launched and don't want to skew analytics if possible. I have seen this happen before on other sites too.
Is there any way you can set the zoom on opening?

Can you at least tell us which website or app you are talking about?

Re: Display a mao on opening that does NOT show the mercator view

Sorry for the delay. We have a Woocommerce site (catalog only - no selling) there are category pages. On each category page is an image of that category product.
The cat page shows the image just fine, but it will not show the ALT tag that is associated with it. There is some filter code in functions.php like this.

add_action( 'woocommerce_archive_description', 'woocommerce_category_image', 2 );
function woocommerce_category_image() {
    if ( is_product_category() || is_woocommerce() ){
	    global $wp_query;
	    $cat = $wp_query->get_queried_object();
	    $thumbnail_id = get_woocommerce_term_meta( $cat->term_id, 'thumbnail_id', true );
	    $image = wp_get_attachment_url( $thumbnail_id );
	    if ( $image ) {
		    echo '<img src="' . $image . '" alt="" />';
		}
	}
}

The dev made an error in this code, the Echo line img src + variable is the code that happily displays the image.

However there is an error on the alt= part. Notice no variable to show the alt tag from the image. (This is hoping that this is possible, template has been customised so this may be why it can't be done.)
)
Dev no longer with us so I am unsure as to what the intention was, but it is not right.
It forces a blank/empty alt tag on the cat pages image.

So my question is, can you identify an alt variable that relates to that (category) image?
