Plots2: Changing coordinates of people map to show more continents .

[sagarpreet-chadha]

Hi, this is a first-timers-only issue. This means we've worked to make it more legible to folks who either haven't contributed to our codebase before, or even folks who haven't contributed to open source before.

If that's you, we're interested in helping you take the first step and can answer questions and help you out as you do. Note that we're especially interested in contributions from people from groups underrepresented in free and open source software!

If you have contributed before, consider leaving this one for someone new, and looking through our general help wanted issues. Thanks!

The Problem

Currently the people map shown here : https://publiclab.org/people/ ,

This map is not at center , hence less number of users are shown .
Lets change the center coordinates of the map to show more continents when the page loads .
Like this :

Solution

Lets change the coordinates here ,
https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/blob/b978d2bd8912a3c4cbffd3a320f44f05deb8764d/app/views/users/list.html.erb#L15
to lat:23 and lon:4 .

Feel free to ask any doubt regarding the issue ! Thank you !
