Where did you have in mind the integration taking place? On the server side? i.e. APRS still delivered via amateur radio, but overlaid with geochat posts on a shared map?
If you don't have a more available resource, ask Craig Anderson for suggestions. He's done a substantial amount of development with APRS including setting it up for a utility to track service vehicles over their business radios. He probably knows others doing it. He is also a member of the CMU DMI working group and my colleague at SCEWN.org.
I can imagine cases for both. The auto inference would make the most sense for starters.
Manually saved default view may be preferable over auto-infer in cases where there is one outlier or someone who misreported their position with only city center or state or something that keeps skewing the view.
Remember there is no sacrifice of time in defining a default view for each group since if I am doing so it is because I otherwise have to redefine the view manually *every* time I log in. So doing it once and saving is no trouble at all in comparison.
Also, I prefer the views to be saved by group rather than as a general account preference. I am using it for CERT and the groups are defined by hierarchy i.e. one group encompasses many smaller groups. When viewing the smaller group, I naturally want to zoom in.
