Enhancement Request on Embedded Maps in Canvas

[flaviogoncalves]

I have tried to use maps embedded in Canvas. Let me explain the context of the application

I have two dropdown filters uf(state) and nome_municipio(city name). I wanted the map to be filtered by the dropdown filters and this worked. The polygon was selected based in state and city. However I found a problem, I had to navigate manually in the map to find the city, making the application useless. I tried to workaround inserting the lat,lon of each city in the index and tried to set these values manually in the mapCenter using getCell with no luck.

Describe the feature:

#1 The best way to solve the problem is the ability to autocenter the map in the objects selected.

#2 As a workaround allow me to send the coordinates to the map using the expression editor. I tried to pass the coordinates to the mapCenter with no luck

#3 Have a parameter to define the initial center and zoom. Frequently the map starts somewhere else, never in the last position or the position saved in maps. Many time in the center of US.

Describe a specific use case for the feature:

The use case is to select a state and city and get positioned automatically in the map.

You can turn on auto fit to bounds which will automatically in the map on filtering
