It might be different based on if you are using MapView or MapTrackView, and are you doing this in the sim or on a real device? The sim and devices are a bit different in places.
Have you tried only doing it in initialize and using MAP_MODE_BROWSE when you want to change it? Not sure what you are saying about popping the view. Are you leaving the map and coming back? initialize will be called each time you come back.
You're right, it should go to initialize. Turns out the problem is with my rectangles. My top left corner was really my bottom left corner, and my bottom right was top right.
The reason I didn't use browse mode was because after panning my location wouldn't be saved and it reverts back to where it was. I saw there was a feature request for that, but that was 2 years ago.
What device and FW level? This really does matter.
My basic thing is I do next to nothing when displaying a map and let the native view deal with things. I do handle switching in/out of browse mode, but generally do not draw any polylines, markers on rare occasions, and display some text at times.
Maps are kind of tricky, as things can also change based on the map settings on the device itself.
