MapView is reloading on drawer open and close.

[kundanthe]

Summary

<MapView
style={styles.mapStyle}
showsUserLocation={true}
userInterfaceStyle={'light'}
pointerEvents="none" // default
mapType={'standard'}/>

I am using the above syntax and npm version 1.26.18. I am getting this issue on an Android device; iOS is not yet tested.

Reproducible sample code

<MapView
          style={styles.mapStyle}
          showsUserLocation={true}
          userInterfaceStyle={'light'}
          pointerEvents="none" // default
          mapType={'standard'}/>

Steps to reproduce

Open and close the drawer.
"@react-navigation/drawer": "^6.5.6",

Expected result

MapView does not need to be reloaded every time.

Actual result

MapView reloaded every time.

Same/similar issue here I think. I move the map to a new area, then navigate to another screen, and when I return to the map it has "reset" the region to my current/initial location.

RN 0.77.3, new arch, RN maps 1.26.0 (with a bunch of patches to pull in fixes from 1.26.13 through 1.26.18)

It doesn't even need to be navigation to make this happen. Simply setting the map's parent view to 0 opacity and back seems to be enough to do it. I've put in a hacky workaround for now to save the last region when navigating away and restoring it when navigating back, but this wasn't necessary when I was on 1.20.1 + old arch
