champlain_map_source_get_name now returns map_id rather than map_name. 
Is this the correct function, or have I confused things?

Actually, map_id was what I wanted in this case. On shut down of an 
application, read current map_id and store it in a configuration file, 
then on start-up it is easier to use map_id instead of map_name to 
initialise a map.
