Suggest you put a named anchor on all MGP pages at the top of the map graphic.

This will allow us to create a url (say for a bookmark) that will open the map page and jump it down to display the map graphic with its top border at the top of the browser window.

Example: http://....url.../#maptop
[or]
http://....url.../#c1

or whatever name you choose for the named anchor.

.
To make that completely clear, adding

#ctl00_Content_MGP_pnlUSA

to the END of any url you are using to access an MGP page will put the map at the top of the loaded screen.

Major thanks to CampKohler for analyzing how to do this.

After a year and a half of extensive research (or maybe a little less), there is a solution to displaying the map at the top of the viewport. There is a div tag just above the map on the page and it has an id parameter of "ctl00_Content_MGP_pnlUSA". This can be used as a fragment link in the same manner as an anchor tag.

For example, let's say you just got out and need to drain that 20-year-old premium from your tank and replace it with fresh stock from a nearby station. http://sactogasprices.com/Map_Gas_Prices.aspx?z=9&lat=38.686981&long=-121.167542&ft=C&tl=All#ctl00_Content_MGP_pnlUSA will do the trick.
