Map Location Update with External Coordinates Source

[rohit-aq]

Platform: iOS
Mapbox SDK version: 4.0.2

Steps to trigger behavior

1. Prepare a CLLocation object with latitude, longitude and course
2. Update mapview's location manager by the location object created

Expected behavior

Map should navigate to the updated location

Actual behavior

Map goes to updated location and comes back to its original source as if it's getting the location update form Core Location as well.

Hi, @rohit-aq. Thank you for using Mapbox. Are you overriding the MGLMapview.locationManager? or are you using a different method to pass you CLLocation object?

I have to stop Mapview location manager update first otherwise it keeps bringing back the source annotation to the original source. To stop the default location update /* mapview.locationManager?.stopUpdatingHeading() mapview.locationManager?.stopUpdatingLocation() */ and then update the pointer by following code /* let location = CLLocation.init(coordinate: currentLocation, altitude: 0.0, horizontalAccuracy: 0.0, verticalAccuracy: 0.0, course: course, speed: 0.0, timestamp: Date()) mapview.locationManager(mapview.locationManager, didUpdateLocations: [location]) */

Hi, @rohit-aq. MGLMapview.locationManager is not a public property you could use. You may want to take a look at this ongoing PR #12013 tho.

This is not a bug. I am going to close this ticket.

Wait, this workaround was provided in one of the Mapbox examples. There is no other way I can update the map with the external coordinate and course. See the Navigation Examples that you Mapbox has on Github.

Hi @rohit-aq,

For the navigation sdk, we're doing a few hacks to make the location manager public. This is a necessary evil so we can simulate routes. Can you check out this guide I just put together? mapbox/mapbox-navigation-ios#1470

[rohit-aq]

So is there a way we can provide Mapbox map coordinates from external source and still get the same effect as it shows with the default location manager. I am having hard time finding anything that moves and rotate the puck same way if the coordinates are from an external source say API and not form CLLocationManager. What is the workaround here?

Poking around for a solution to use third part location. But according to the status of #12013 , seems it's still not implemented into stable release yet? @fabian-guerra
