Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

iOS - Distance - Center icon overlaps with compass icon

What is the root cause of that problem?

The centre icon is placed with p5 (20px) padding.

App/src/components/MapView/MapView.tsx

Lines 269 to 281 in 67186f1

	{interactive && (
	<View style={[styles.pAbsolute, styles.p5, styles.t0, styles.r0, {zIndex: 1}]}>
	<Button
	onPress={centerMap}
	iconFill={theme.icon}
	iconStyles={styles.ml1}
	medium
	icon={Expensicons.Crosshair}
	accessibilityLabel={translate('common.center')}
	/>
	</View>
	)}
	</View>

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

Adjust the padding to change the position of the icon to bottom left/right.

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

Options 1. Hide the compass using compassEnabled prop.

Options 2. Updated compass position using compassPosition prop. Scale bar position can also be changed using scaleBarPosition

Option 3. Compass can also be hidden by positioning it just below the center button compassPosition={{top: 20, right: 20}}.

Hm, @Expensify/design I'm not sure on this. Do we literally just cover the compass icon in the background or should it not be there at all?

[shawnborton]

Ah interesting, that only shows up if you rotate the map I bet?

[dannymcclain]

Ah interesting, that only shows up if you rotate the map I bet?

Yup you're right. I had never seen that compass before but I just tested out rotating the map and that's when it shows up. Womp.

[trjExpensify]

Goooot it. So both of these UI elements need to live together in the same view then conceivably?

[shawnborton]

It looks like we can also just move the compass or disable it entirely. From here:

So I like the idea of maybe moving the compass to the bottom right or something? Curious what @Expensify/design thinks.

[trjExpensify]

Got it. Bottom right, above the info button? We can pay a retainer to get rid of all the Mapbox stuff at the bottom at some point in the future.

I think we should keep the compass, as I think it's pretty standard when turning the map to reorientate it.

[shawnborton]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. And the info button would typically always show because the default view is not to rotate the map.

[trjExpensify]

Sounds good!
