That's a good point. It basically gets no coordinates so centers around
0/0 and then zooms in as if there was something to be seen there.
Not zooming in seems like the much better answer.

Those are odd. Can you open you XML file in an editor and see if you
have longitude/latitude set on any of your dives? Maybe these are bogus
locations that were created by #3 below

We had another report like this on the bug tracker a few days ago. I
cannot reproduce this behavior at all. But I don't think I've tried to
recreate the scenario you describe (with no dive coordinates set
anywhere).

1) is an enhancement request
2) depends on what's in your XML file :-)
3) is a bug - if you can create a few simple steps, starting from an
empty log that can be used to recreate this, that would be great.
