Description

I'm trying to switch from using the [flutter-mapbox-gl](https://github.com/flutter-mapbox-gl/maps) plugin to this one, and I ran into an issue...

I'm using a [transparent pointer](https://pub.dev/packages/transparent_pointer) over the map, in a Stack widget, so I can turn off some automated panning and zooming if the user starts interacting with the map; I'm interpreting gestures as pans, zooms, and rotates, and also letting the gestures bubble through to the map. This works fine with that other mapbox plugin, but with this one I get:

```
I/flutter ( 8823): ⚠️ Unhandled Flutter error: 'package:flutter/src/gestures/tap.dart': Failed assertion: line 210 pos 14: '_down == null && _up == null': is not true.

======== Exception caught by gesture library =======================================================
The following assertion was thrown while dispatching a pointer event:
'package:flutter/src/gestures/tap.dart': Failed assertion: line 210 pos 14: '_down == null && _up == null': is not true.

Either the assertion indicates an error in the framework itself, or we should provide substantially more information in this error message to help you determine and fix the underlying cause.
In either case, please report this assertion by filing a bug on GitHub:
https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/new?template=2_bug.md

When the exception was thrown, this was the stack:

```

Is there a way to make this work?

Alternatively, is there a way to listen for *user initiated* zooms, pans, and rotates with this package?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the assertion with transparent_pointer over the map in a Stack, using the gesture callbacks shown in the report. Read the Flutter gesture stack around tap.dart, gesture_detector.dart, and the map package's gesture entry points; done means the interaction no longer asserts and user-initiated pan, zoom, and rotate gestures can be distinguished or documented.
