error on example "MapTable: Only Table and filters - sorting, virtual columns"

[mrjones-plip]

On the MapTable: Only Table and filters - sorting, virtual columns example page, there's a JS error:

TypeError: null has no properties  maptable.min.js:2:16611

this causes the example to fail to render

I just bumped into this again. you can easily reproduce if you take the default.sort.html page and remove the map line .map({ path: 'ne_110m_admin_0_countries.json' }).

Using a non minified version the library, I see this is the line that it's hitting:

if (!options.map || !options.map.heatmap) options.map.heatmap = null;

My work around on my current project is to add the map but then use CSS to hide it :|
