Initial camera position

[Christophe668]

The initial camera position is not placed on user location when starting a route.
I tried several things and I was able to make the camera start at a fixed location.
Currently, the camera seems to sometimes start from coordinates 0, 0 and animate itself to the user location in a few seconds.
This behavior is seen as a bug by some users. I attached a Gif of the issue and a test project.

Please note that for the test project, I remove the access token in the "App" class and location permission is not asked by default but can be allowed manually.

Hey @Christophe668 👋 thanks a lot for the feedback here. You're correct here > the camera seems to sometimes start from coordinates 0, 0 and animate itself to the user location in a few seconds.

This UX isn't ideal and the solution here I believe is initializing the map with the coordinates from the start of the route passed to start navigation.

To achieve this, we will need to re-work how the NavigationView is initialized. But I think it's technically feasible. We will prioritize internally and discuss a solution for this and then report back here on this ticket. Thanks again!

@danesfeder Perfect, thanks !

Hi @danesfeder any news on this? Users are also complaining that the initial zoom stops during the animation as well.
I can see this also myself. The zoom animation seems to start from 0.0, zooms then to the current location, but then stops in the middle of the animation.

Hey @Christophe668 I just cut #1483 that should address this. Please take a look and provide feedback if you have any.

@danesfeder this seems simple and perfect to me. Let me know when I can test it in a snapshot :)
