How to stop refreshing user location after first centering the map?

[nbastoWM]

On onRegionChange I add an annotation for the current location.
I use userTrackingMode={this.userTrackingMode.follow} but in Android the annotation is always changing in very small steps and I can't pan the map because it recenters immediately. In iOS it's fine, it centers the map where you are, in the beginning, but then I can pan and zoom.
If i set userTrackingMode to none I cannot center the map in my current location.
How can I center the map in my location only in the beginning but then allow the user to move the map?

@nbastoWM
thank you for reaching out and flagging this issue,
I have created a ticket for this in the upstream repo mapbox/mapbox-gl-native#3444.

This will land if update to android 3.0.1 in #249 lands.

The problem is that the behavior of onRegionChange is not the same on Android and iOS. If you look at the doc, you'll see:
iOS : Fired when the map ends panning or zooming
Android : Fired when the map is panning or zooming
This is a problem because if you wanna use the same code for Android and iOS you have different behaviors.

It would be great if we could get the user location when the map launches to set the centerCoordinate, and set the userTrackingMode to none.

But there's currently some bug with the navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition and I don't find any method in mapbox to get the current location.

3.0.1 landed a long time ago and this has been fixed since.

Also, since 5.0.0, userTrackingMode now acts as any controlled component would: You set it to follow and when the user starts panning, you receive onChangeUserTrackingMode and set it back to none (or whatever the callback gives you).

Closing this.
