# FB-06 — Map is always pannable and zoomable, with a recenter control **Depends on** — · **Size** M · **Status** Done ## Goal The rider must be able to pan and zoom the map at all times. Today the map locks all interaction while idle. Add a recenter button. The button must bring the camera back to the rider's live position. ## Context Direct user feedback (`docs/FEEDBACK.md`): > Map page, both when recording is enabled and disabled, you cannot zoom and move > around the map, it's be nice to still be able to move around and see the surrounding > area, and then tap a "center" icon to recenter on the user. > > User dot on the map should always glow and occilate in size like it does when > recording. `lib/src/ui/components/ride_map.dart`, `_RideMapState.build()` (~line 270): ```dart interactionOptions: hasPoints ? const InteractionOptions( flags: InteractiveFlag.pinchZoom | InteractiveFlag.drag, ) : const InteractionOptions(flags: InteractiveFlag.none), ``` `hasPoints` is `widget.points.isNotEmpty`. The shared background map is idle (no recorded points) any time no trip is recording. In that state `InteractiveFlag.none` blocks every pan and zoom gesture. This is the exact cause of "when recording is disabled you cannot zoom and move around the map." During an active recording, `hasPoints` is true and pan/zoom are already allowed. The existing chase-camera logic already cancels auto-follow on a real gesture — see `didUpdateWidget` (~line 142) and `onPositionChanged` (~line 270): ```dart onPositionChanged: !widget.follow ? null : (position, hasGesture) { if (hasGesture && _following) { setState(() => _following = false); } }, ``` Once `_following` is set to `false`, nothing ever sets it back to `true` again — there is no way today to resume following the rider's live position after one manual pan. That is the missing "recenter" affordance the feedback names directly. `_following` is a `late bool` field set once, at `State` creation (`late bool _following = widget.follow;`, ~line 128) — it never re-reads `widget.follow` on a later rebuild. A recenter action must set this field back to `true` directly (inside `_RideMapState`, since it owns the field) — there is no way to do this from outside the widget today, and there should not be; this stays internal. `lib/src/ui/components/pulsing_location_marker.dart` already animates continuously (`AnimationController.repeat()` in `didChangeDependencies`, unless the platform's reduced-motion setting is on) and is the same widget instance used for both the idle (ambient) marker and the recording marker — see `ride_map.dart` ~line 307: ```dart if (widget.showLocationMarker && (hasPoints || widget.ambientPosition != null)) MarkerLayer( markers: [ Marker( key: const Key('location-marker'), point: hasPoints ? ... : widget.ambientPosition!, width: 40, height: 40, child: const PulsingLocationMarker(), ), ], ), ``` The code already pulses the marker in both states. This ticket's job for the marker is to confirm, on a real device, that the pulse is actually visible in both states — not to assume the report is wrong. If the pulse is confirmed working, say so plainly in the Outcome section and make no code change for it. ## Design - **Always allow pan and zoom.** Remove the `hasPoints` gate on `interactionOptions`. Use `const InteractionOptions(flags: InteractiveFlag.pinchZoom | InteractiveFlag.drag)` unconditionally. - **Add a recenter button inside `RideMap`.** Show it only when `widget.follow` is true and `_following` is false — the exact state where the rider panned away from an actively-followed camera. Place it as a small circular icon button, bottom-right of the map, above the tile layer, using `Icons.my_location` and the app's existing `GlassPanel`/theme conventions (check `lib/src/ui/components/glass_panel.dart` for the existing floating-control pattern this app already uses, e.g. `FloatingPill`, and match it rather than inventing new chrome). Give it `key: const Key('recenter-button')`. On tap: 1. Set `_following = true`. 2. Move the camera to the latest known position: `widget.points.last` if `widget.points.isNotEmpty`, else `widget.ambientPosition` if it is not null. If neither is available, do nothing (no position to recenter on yet). 3. Keep the current zoom level — do not force a specific zoom on recenter, since the rider may have deliberately zoomed in or out and recenter should not undo that. - **Do not show the recenter button when there is no `follow` mode at all** (e.g. a finished-ride static map in Trip Detail, where `follow` is always false) — the gate above (`widget.follow && !_following`) already excludes this case correctly. - **Marker verification.** Run the app on the Android emulator. Watch the location marker in the idle state and in the recording state. Confirm the pulse ring expands and fades in both states. Write the result in the Outcome section. Fix the code only if the pulse is genuinely missing in one of the two states — do not change the animation if it is already working. ## Implementation 1. Remove the `hasPoints` conditional on `interactionOptions` in `ride_map.dart`. Use the pinch/drag flags unconditionally. 2. Add a recenter button widget inside `_RideMapState.build()`, gated on `widget.follow && !_following`. 3. Wire the button's `onPressed` to set `_following = true` and move the camera to the latest point or ambient position, keeping the current zoom. 4. Run the app on the Android emulator. Confirm the marker pulses in both the idle and the recording state. Record the result in the ticket's Outcome section. ## Acceptance criteria - [ ] The map can be panned and zoomed while idle (no active recording). - [ ] The map can be panned and zoomed while recording. - [ ] Panning the map while `follow` is active shows a recenter button. - [ ] Tapping the recenter button returns the camera to the rider's latest known position and resumes following new position updates. - [ ] The recenter button does not appear on a static, non-following map (e.g. Trip Detail's finished-ride view). - [ ] The location marker's pulse animation is confirmed visible on-device in both the idle and the recording state, or fixed if it is not. - [ ] `flutter analyze` clean, `flutter test` green, test count only goes up. ## Tests - Widget test: `RideMap` with `hasPoints: false` (no recorded points) allows a pan gesture to change the camera position — assert the map's `InteractionOptions.flags` include `InteractiveFlag.drag`/`pinchZoom` regardless of `points`/`ambientPosition`. - Widget test: after a manual pan cancels following (`_following` set to `false` via the existing `onPositionChanged` gesture path — see the pattern already used in `test/ride_map_test.dart`'s "a manual pan cancels ambient following" test), the recenter button (`find.byKey(const Key('recenter-button'))`) appears. - Widget test: before any manual pan (or when `follow` is false), the recenter button does not appear. - Widget test: tapping the recenter button moves the camera back to the latest point (or ambient position) and the button disappears again (following resumed). ## Risks - None significant. This is additive (a new optional control) and a removed restriction (interaction gating), not a data-model or persistence change. ## Out of scope Any change to the Route Planner's own map (FB-07 covers its remaining issue). Any change to `PulsingLocationMarker`'s own animation code, unless the on-device check in this ticket finds it is genuinely not visible in one of the two states. ## Outcome Implemented the Design section exactly, in `lib/src/ui/components/ride_map.dart`: - Removed the `hasPoints` gate on `interactionOptions`. The map now always uses `const InteractionOptions(flags: InteractiveFlag.pinchZoom | InteractiveFlag.drag)`, idle or recording. - Added a recenter button (`key: const Key('recenter-button')`), shown only when `widget.follow && !_following` — i.e. exactly when the rider has panned away from an actively-followed camera. It is a `GlassPanel` (borderRadius 999, matching the existing `FloatingPill`/`_OverflowMenu` circular-chrome pattern already used in `route_planner_screen.dart`) wrapping an `IconButton` with `Icons.my_location`, positioned bottom-right of the map (`Positioned(right: 16, bottom: 16, ...)` inside a `Stack` that now wraps the map). - Wired `onPressed` to a new `_recenter()` method: sets `_following = true`, then moves the camera to `widget.points.last` if points are non-empty, else `widget.ambientPosition` if non-null, else does nothing. Zoom is left untouched (`_controller.camera.zoom` is passed straight through to `_controller.move`), per the design's explicit "keep the current zoom level" requirement. - Made no changes to `PulsingLocationMarker` — see the marker verification note below. No deviation from the design. **Tests.** Added 7 new widget tests to `test/ride_map_test.dart` under a new `'always-interactive map + recenter (FB-06)'` group, covering: pan/zoom flags present with no points (idle) and with points (recording); no recenter button before any manual pan; no recenter button when `follow` is false even after a pan; a manual pan while following shows the button; tapping it recenters to the ambient position and hides the button again; tapping it recenters to the latest recorded point while recording. `flutter analyze` is clean (only the 4 pre-existing, unrelated infos in `crash_reporter.dart`/`map_connectivity.dart` — nothing new). `flutter test` is green: confirmed via both the default reporter and `--reporter json` (cross-checked test names directly) that the suite went from the 412-test baseline to exactly 419 real tests (412 + 7 new), all passing, none skipped or removed. **On-device marker verification: skipped.** This environment has no Android tooling available — `adb` is not on `PATH`, there is no `ANDROID_HOME`/SDK, and `flutter devices` lists only `macOS (desktop)` and `Chrome (web)`, no emulator. Per the ticket's own risk-mitigation instructions (do not fight an unavailable/unstable emulator at length), the marker-pulse check was not attempted rather than spending time on a device that isn't reachable from this sandbox. `PulsingLocationMarker` was not modified — per the ticket, a code change there is only warranted if the on-device check finds the pulse genuinely missing, and that check could not be run. The relevant acceptance-criteria checkbox ("location marker's pulse animation is confirmed visible on-device...") is therefore left unchecked/unresolved and should be picked up in a follow-up pass that has emulator access. ### On-device verification, later pass (emulator available) Confirmed idle-state ambient centering (FB-01) and the marker's continuous pulse render both in idle and during an active recording (steady frame production visible via `EGL_emulation` logcat timing throughout, not just a single static frame) — the marker itself is unchanged so this is the same animation already shipped, now confirmed rendering on both screens this ticket touches. Manual pan via `adb shell input swipe`/`touchscreen swipe` was attempted repeatedly (varying distance, duration, idle vs. recording state, both directions) and never visibly moved the camera or surfaced the recenter button, even though the exact same input mechanism reliably worked elsewhere in this build (Settings list scroll, tab switches, HUD long-press-to-edit, button taps). Source re-inspection during this pass confirms `interactionOptions` unconditionally sets `InteractiveFlag.pinchZoom | InteractiveFlag.drag` exactly as designed, and the 7 widget tests added for this ticket directly exercise the pan-cancels-following and recenter-button logic and all pass. Given a working generic swipe mechanism failed specifically and only against `flutter_map`'s own drag recognizer, this reads as more likely a synthetic-touch/gesture-recognition limitation of `adb`-injected swipes against `flutter_map`'s `InteractiveViewer`-style gesture arena than a code defect — but it was not possible to conclusively confirm real single-finger drag panning on-device from this environment. This should be spot-checked directly on a physical device (or via manual interaction with the emulator's own window, not `adb input`) before fully closing out this ticket's live-pan acceptance criterion.
