UserLocation/ Camera: not able to set vertical alignment of position

Describe the bug Old version had a MapView property to set the userLocationVerticalAlignment. Camera/ UserLocation seem to have shed that property.

Camera does indeed has an interface for alignment, however it didn’t seem to be finished and is also not passed through to the native side.

To Reproduce Try using the alignment property on Camera. Notice, that the UserLocation will still be dead center on the MapView instead of on the bottom or top part of the map.

Expected behavior Using the alignment property will move the UserLocation either to the top or bottom part of the map

Hey @dorthwein, yeah, it does exactly what the docs say (if I’ve only read them earlier 😛)

The distance from the edges of the map view’s frame to the edges of the map view’s logical viewport.

This is how I use it to offset from the top, which will move everything further down. contentInset={[400, 0, 0, 0]}

Edit: This is on Android, haven’t tested on iOS

@ferdicus on iOS we’d implement it with: https://docs.mapbox.com/ios/api/maps/5.0.0/Enums/MGLAnnotationVerticalAlignment.html

see: https://github.com/nitaliano/react-native-mapbox-gl/pull/897/commits/07a03277872c3501431873b4f704944de980bdde

on android we’d done it with something like this:
