useCurrentPosition heading is not in sync with NativeUserLocation heading #1305
Description
Describe and reproduce the Bug
We're using the NativeUserLocation component as it performs better than the UserLocation component. When my Android phone is lying still, the arrow points in the right direction with NativeUserLocation, while it is jumping around with UserLocation.
In combination with NativeUserLocation we're also using the useCurrentPosition hook to retrieve the current user heading. The problem is that the heading returned is the same "jumping around" heading as we see with the UserLocation component. Would it be possible to get the heading from the NativeUserLocation component instead?
