Description
In our current project my team and I really would need some functionality to customize the location in Free Drive mode.
Specifically, it would be amazing, if we could somehow disable snapping to roads or enhancing the location all together.
Alternatively it would suffice to have a possibility or interface to override the location provider, that the navigationView uses.
We already are able to somewhat overwrite the location provider for the map, so that the location puck displays the raw location. But the navigationView still uses another internal location provider to calculate its camera movement etc.
Thank you for any help!
**Android API:** 33
**Mapbox Navigation SDK version:** 10.9.0

Research direction
Start by tracing the FreeDrive NavigationView location-provider path, alongside the existing map location-provider override described in the issue. Clarify whether the supported outcome is disabling road snapping and enhancement or overriding the provider, then verify the behavior on Android API 33 with SDK 10.9.0.
