Description
Would be good to enhance UX of our map canvas. Possible enhancements:
- adding animations when user zooms in/out, identifies feature (extent would move to the feature, not just jump immediately)
- prefetch bigger part of a map, not just the size of a screen, so that you do not always see white maps and loading bar when moving map around
- animate gps position movement (like #110)
- adding map rotation support (https://github.com/MerginMaps/mobile/issues/2108)
This is how Google maps handles it:
Up for discussion.
