Disable auto-zoom of GeolocateControl on trigger

[HelNershingThapa]

Using the trigger function from GeolocateControl automatically triggers a zoom to the user's location. I want to disable this auto-zoom feature while still being able to geolocate the user.

const MapComponent = () => {
  const geoControlRef = useRef(null);
  
  useEffect(() => {
  // This triggers the geolocation event. I want to be able
  // to disable the auto-zoom to the location functionality.
  geoControlRef.current.trigger();
  }, [geoControlRef.current]);


  return (
    <ReactMapGL
      // other map settings
    >
      <GeolocateControl
          ref={geoControlRef}
          position="bottom-right"
          showAccuracyCircle={false}
      />
    </ReactMapGL>
  );
};

export default MapComponent;

What I've Tried:

I found a workaround that involves disabling the _updateCamera function. Here's the code snippet I'm using:

  useEffect(() => {
  // This triggers the geolocation event. I want to be able
  // to disable the auto-zoom to the location functionality.
  if (geoControlRef.current) {
      geoControlRef.current.trigger();
      geoControlRef.current._updateCamera = () => {};
  }
  }, [geoControlRef.current]);

However, this approach has an unintended consequence. While it prevents the auto-zoom on the component mount, it also disables the zoom when the user manually clicks the geolocate control button.
