Loading Quake 3 map Help finding start position in map

[flipnode]

This might be on the forums. Sorry, now. I've looked and I can't seem to find anything on this topic.

Question
I want to load a Quake 3 map and figure out where the best places to load a character camera FPS view are within the map itself.

Idea
Do I use a map tool like Radiant to do that? Or use some logic technique?
Examples and links are great!

Thanks to all.

No one has anything to say? I mean when you load a map. How do you find your map in a world of emptiness? If you don't set the correct coords then you'll be like under the map or some random place in your world, no where near your map.

If your start node in the map is (x,y,z) and you place the map at (a,b,c) you should have your start place at (x+a,y+b,z+c). so what?
