Description

I have a _page_ which every time it loads, it will run the below code and display directions on a map:

```javascript
directions.setOrigin([LAT, LNG])
directions.setDestination([LAT, LNG])
```

The first time I go to this _page_, it plots the directions and has an auto **focus animation** to zoom into the directions. It's beautiful!

However, if I back out of the _page_, then select a different _page_, the above code gets ran and the new map directions display, but the **focus animation** doesn't get fired.

_Note: If I refresh the "animation failing page", it will then work._

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by navigating away from a page and back while calling directions.setOrigin([LAT, LNG]) and directions.setDestination([LAT, LNG]); compare that with a full refresh. Trace the directions update and focus-animation behavior in the plugin entry points, then verify that the animation fires when directions are updated after navigation as well as on initial load.
