Split issues in this thread into multiple issues.

MapView and MapTrackView classes are broken - even more on CIQ3.1

Hi, 

not only that CIQ 3.0 implementation of MapView and MapTrackView still have more issues than actual working features, CIQ 3.1 even made them worse. 

Newly, UI rendered by both classes can not be refreshed on CIQ 3.1 devices by calls from code after first initialisation - for example by setMapVisibleArea method as it is described here:

https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/f/discussion/191378/fenix-6-ciq-maps-implementation/932413#932413

I can summary also the older issues if it will help somebody to take care of them in one run. But some of them are already mentioned on various places of the forum without any positive reaction from CIQ team, so I don't want to waste time if nobody ask for them.   

Will there be please finally time to fix those important parts of CIQ after settling down dust from CIQ 3.1 public release? This is kind of things why Connect IQ is extremely hard to use for any more complex apps which should be perfectly doable according to documentation.  In my case I have to disable maps on all CIQ 3.1 devices until the problems will be solved leaving my users confused again. Disappointed

    Related to the issue where CIQ apps have no control over map states, if your last activity was golf on the F6, the maps you get in your CIQ map will be of golf courses.

    Apps really need more control of the MapView settings.  You don't have the tools to get the current state, nor do you have the tools to set the current state.  This makes for a pretty poor user experience.

    For my use, where I rolled all my own zoom in/out code so I could have it match my bread crumb map page, things were working pretty well with 3.0.  3.1 is definitely a step backwards and hopefully they can get it fixed quickly.
