I am trying to get zoom, pan, and datatips working on geoaxes in app designer but it is not working. Whenever I use geoaxis outside of app designer, all the interactions work perfectly just like how you would expect. I am trying to follow this tutorial https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/creating_plots/create-geographic-axes-in-app.html but instead of setting PanSupported and ZoomSupported to "off", intuitively, you would think to set it to "on" to enable interactions. Unfortunately, this is not the case. I have been all over the internet and back and have not seen a workable clean solution to this problem. The only work around I see is to trigger a new figure from the app that has all of these interactions. I do not want that and need it to happen inside of my app. For panning and zooming, I have been simulating these functions with buttons and sliders. No idea how to simulate datatips when hovering over geoplots in a clean way. This makes the app a lot less user friendly and harder to use.

By default, pan and zoom are enabled. This app example explicitly turns them off. Delete or Comment out lines 73 and 74 in the app, and you will see zoom and pan options in the axes toolbar, as well as data tips.
The axes toolbar will appear in the top right of the axes. You may have to click on the plot first to activate it.
