Opensearch v 2.8.0

**Describe the issue** :  
Hello, I need help with an Opensearch Dashboards map visualization. When I create a custom map with coordinate like:

By using the Documents layer with the coordinate field, it paints the map as we want. The problem is that once the map and visualization have been created, we cannot fix the map with the correct zoom so that it can be seen on the Dashboard, it always appears as zoom 1.

At point 1 we have the view as the map would look normal.  
At point 2, the view that we want to appear when opening the dashboard.
