Description

The mapview (as of 1.4.2 - 1.5.0) no longer updates it's region setting based on the movement of the map.

Reproduction code:

var win = Titanium.UI.createWindow({  
    title: 'WeedMaps',
    backgroundColor:'#fff',
    navBarHidden: true
});

var mapview = Titanium.Map.createView({
    mapType: Titanium.Map.STANDARD_TYPE,
    region: {latitude:33.74511, longitude:-84.38993, latitudeDelta:0.01, longitudeDelta:0.01},
    animate: true,
    regionFit: true,
    userLocation: false
});

win.add(mapview);
win.open();

Expected result: Swipe on the map, and the map loads the new regions into view.
End result: Map does not update once instanciated.

I was able to work around this, but only with the help of getCurrentLocation(), utilizing GPS/Network location. This then allowed me to scroll the map and it updates wonderfully, but this is not useful since the map that is to be displayed has nothing to do with location awareness.

I do not know if this was the intended use for the MapView, or if something needs to be calibrated via regionChanged event on the user's end...

    I found the cause of the issue. I had navBarHidden set to "true" for the main window. Doing so caused the map to malfunction, and another issue had arisen. Setting the main window to navBarHidden: false also makes the splash screen hang in the background behind the main window.

    I think mapview is only updating on a 'lightweight' window.

    If you're forced to use a lightweight window then the back button closes it + the parent window too. This is bad news for navigation!

    Known workarounds exist, moving to 1.9.0
