Description

In rideshare app "Uber", once a trip is in progress, the app will overlay the planned route on the map. However, scrolling/zooming the map does not affect the overlay, which stays at the originally drawn location on screen instead of moving with the underlying map.

A round-trip to the recent app switcher forces a map redraw including the overlay, which is now drawn in its current correct position relative to the map.

The app auto scrolls and auto zooms the map continuously, making this bug more relevant.

Research direction

Reproduce an in-progress trip in the Uber app and inspect the map overlay rendering and redraw path while scrolling, zooming, and during automatic movement. Compare the behavior with the redraw triggered by switching to the recent app list. Done means the planned route remains correctly aligned with the map without requiring an app switch.
