Is there a way to trigger() geolocation programmatically? #74

Thanks for your work on this package.

How would I go about getting access to geoLocateControl and then using the trigger function which is apparently available?

https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/api/#geolocatecontrol#trigger

Many thanks!

Never-mind, I worked it out.

You can just:

const geolocate = new mapboxgl.GeolocateControl(); map.addControl(geolocate, this.geolocateControl.position);

Make sure the controls have been loaded and then simply call: geolocate.trigger();

Do that instead of adding as a prop to mapbox, ensuring that you have configured this.geolocateControl with all of the required options.
