Moving the map does not disengage GPS (if no signal is available at the moment)

[mnalis]

If I understand UI correctly:

• GPS icon is orange when GPS follow mode in enabled, ie. when map will be repositioned so center is on current GPS coordinates and follow that coordinates automatically as they change. It is black when GPS follow is disabled
• one can enable GPS follow mode (and thus turn icon orange) by clicking on GPS icon when it is black
• one can disable GPS follow mode (and thus turn icon black) by panning the map manually

It seems to work like that when one is in range of GPS satellites. However, when GPS signal is not acquired, it is not possible to disable GPS follow mode - ie. the GPS icon remain orange, and one cannot turn it black by panning the map manually.

I would expect I can disable GPS follow by same action (panning the map manually) even is GPS signal is not yet acquired.

How to Reproduce

• Start SC inside building when there is no GPS signal
• pan and rotate map around manually
• notice the GPS icon remains orange all the time

(excuse the video quality - the GPS icon remains orange color all the time in the video below)

Turns out this is deliberate. Git comment of the change that added this functionality:

panning the map doesn't disable location-following if no location is known yet
