Turn off snap-to when browsing by maps.

Currently, when browsing trails by the map, the Android App jerks and snaps to locations that it "thinks" you should look at.  

What we need is to freely, and smoothely browse and scroll the map without ANY jerking or auto-zooming.  This is making trail browsing completely unusable and frustrating.  

Typical use case:  I almost never know exactly where I want to hike, but I want to scroll around the state of California while filtered on loops greater than 20 miles with waterfalls that are dog friendly.   Alltrails currently snaps and jerks the map every which direction while I'm scrolling around the maps.

  I'm feeling that frustration too. While panning and zooming on Chrome or Firefox under Windows, AllTrails map will suddenly zoom WAY IN to the starting point of one of my activities. It's very disorienting and frustrating. I want to explore parts of the map near where I've been, but find a new place to hike where I have not been yet. Is this an OpenStreetMap thing? Well then figure out how to disable that.

  Here's how to reproduce:

  1. Bring up the AllTrails map, e.g. browse to https://www.alltrails.com/explore
  2. Pan and zoom until there is just one of your gray teardrop map pin symbols in view for one of your past activity starting points.
  3. Pan and zoom until that map in goes out of view so that there are ZERO map pins in view.
  4. Now slowly reverse that to bring that ONE map pin back into view.
  5. When it comes into view, the map suddenly jumps and zooms ALL THE WAY IN to where that map pin is centered. Some bright algorithm has decided that the only thing of interest to me in the whole world is that one activity point.

  This most frustrating thing about a robot is when it does something you didn't tell it to do, and don't want it to do, and you have no idea what it did or why. Please get rid of this dumb smart feature.

  I agree with the zoom issue. When looking at the map the map May highlight with a green circle showing three trails. When tapping on the three it may zoom in so close that only two of the dots are showing at each of those are at the screens edge so you can't actually see the trail just the Mark at the very edge of the screen. If there were a way to adjust the zoom level so that you could actually see the trails rather than just a Green Dot pointing to a trail that then proceeds off of the screen that you have to manually zoom back in to see

  This does my head in and makes it so frustrating trying to browse the map. Group hug everyone.
