Correct me if I'm wrong, Cobra, but once you move the map doesn't it stop auto-moving? So, if this person wants to center the map on their custom waypoint and watch their ownship approach it on the map, that may be helpful in some way.
Also he may not be looking to exactly center it. What I got from his OP is that it gets tedious to keep releasing your finger to re-find where it (the waypoint) is at when you're trying to move it. He did say "center it", but that could've been a generalization regarding his attempt to get it inside his current viewing area (maybe from off-screen).
Depends how you have it set up. The default is for the map to resume following your ownship after a few minutes. Since that's the default, I figure that's how most people use it. If the OP uses it differently, I was trying to understand how and why, in case there were other ways to address his desired use.
If he's not looking to exactly center it, then I'm still curious to understand why it's not a reasonable workaround to just eyeball some nearby map feature that doesn't disappear, and then pan the map to approximately center the desired waypoint by reference to that feature. This doesn't seem like a big deal to me, so I'm wondering what I'm missing.
