Don't zoom in when GPS location is found #1

Closed iandees closed 9 years ago

iandees commented 9 years ago

I have random map + GPS location turned on and it just so happens that right when I open a new tab and start typing into the address bar, the GPS location is found and the map zooms in to my location. I have a top of the line retina Macbook Pro 13" and the poor thing can't handle the map zoom + fetching new tiles + autocompleting the URL. :smile:

When in GPS mode, could it only pan to the new location? Maybe better would be to only pan if the GPS location is > X pixels away from the previous location so it won't do any movement if I haven't moved?

@iandees can you test 0.8? In 0.7, the map location was stored as boundaries. Now it's a simple lat, lng, zoom. Also the map.locate() maxzoom level is equal to the cached zoom level, so theoretically there should be no zooming.

Let me know how it feels.

Sorry, I didn't have a way to test it easily.
