Description

## Environment

- Xcode version: 13.3
- iOS version: 15.4.1
- Devices affected: All
- Maps SDK Version: 10.4.1

## Observed behavior and steps to reproduce

```
mapView.location.options.puckType = .puck2D(.init(topImage: nil,
bearingImage: .init(named: "UserLocation"),
shadowImage: nil)
```

If you use a pick-type of 2D an also set a bearing image, that will rotate when the user rotates his phone. This in general is very good.
The problem though is that it is very sluggish. So it seems like it animates (?) to the users bearing with a quite long duration. Compared to the animation there is in the stocks iOS maps app, it is super slow.

## Expected behavior

The bearing image change much snappier. Maybe even without animation?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the behavior with mapView.location.options.puckType set to a 2D puck using the UserLocation bearing image on the listed iOS and Maps SDK versions. Investigate the bearing-image update and rotation behavior, then verify that changes track device bearing more responsively or without the reported long animation.
