Currently the app is trying to zoom to the coordinates provided by the VCS but this is causing an issue with datasets containing coordinates spanning from -180 to 180 longitude.
Here is an example: https://app.geo.ca/en-ca/map-browser/record/8b83fd58-5953-4b80-8009-94d44ff89844
In the above dataset the zoom ends up focusing in on Alaska even though there are features across Canada.
Geoview has an initial zoom feature built in that will fix this. Have a look at this Geoview Demo
In this scenario the geoCore ID is all that needs to be included in the layerIds array for the initialView.
