Consider map.flyTo as panning as well to cancel following location

[Mygod]

Is this possible? Thanks!

Hi @Mygod, you can call locateControl.stopFollowing() before your flyTo() to cancel the following mode programmatically. Does that work for your use case?

I could do that workaround but it feels like this should probably be the default native behavior. :)

I understand the desire for this to work automatically. However, I think a clean implementation would be quite tricky.

The plugin uses an internal _ignoreEvent flag to suppress reactions to map movements it triggers itself. If we listened to movestart (which flyTo fires), we'd need to reliably distinguish between:

• a flyTo called externally (→ should cancel following)
• the control's own flyTo used to follow the location (→ should not cancel following)

The _ignoreEvent pattern already handles this for dragstart, zoomstart and zoomend, so it's not impossible - but movestart fires on every map movement, making it a much broader hook that would need careful testing to avoid edge cases.

For now, stopFollowing() seems like the cleanest workaround. If you (or anybody else) have a concrete implementation idea, feel free to open a PR - I'd be happy to take a look! 🙂
