MapUpdater crashes on HMS/microG when calling UiSettings.setCompassEnabled() on a null delegate

[cempo]

android-maps-compose crashes on some devices (Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo) that use HMS/microG-backed map delegates, even when the app does not configure the compass at all.

val uiSettings by remember {
    mutableStateOf(
        MapUiSettings(
            zoomControlsEnabled = false,
            myLocationButtonEnabled = false
        )
    )
}
