Geolocation should be automatic on mapper frontend #1909

Describe the bug

We avoided making geolocation automatic on the management frontend, as people only viewing the project wouldn't want this.
The mapper frontend is specific to mapping, and the user will almost always want to geolocate.
Current UX isn't great, where the user is expected to click a button - it's not intuitive like other map apps.

Solution

Automatically start the geolocation when the mapnow page is loaded.
