SVG stroke-dashoffset working strangely on IOS (safari and chrome)

I've been working on an animation that shows a single GPS track being drawn from start to end.

The following works correctly on macOS chrome and safari, and android chrome.

When trying this on my iPad (safari, chrome, firefox), I see that the track is animated incorrectly, as it doesn't nicely go from start to end, but shows multiple starts halfway the track.

console.log('total path length is: ', document.getElementById("path").getTotalLength())

#path {
  stroke-dasharray: 714;
  stroke-dashoffset: 714;
  animation: dash 5s linear forwards;
}

@keyframes dash {
  to {
    stroke-dashoffset: 0;
  }
}

Any ideas on how to counter this behaviour?

Solution

I will try to assume that a large number of nodal points in places of a sharp change in the direction of the line is interpreted by some OS as a line break and the presence of not one line, but several

Therefore, the animation of the line, judging by your link, starts in several places at once

I redrawn the line in a vector editor with fewer node points
Try this line option on your gadget

#path {
  stroke-dasharray: 675;
  stroke-dashoffset: 675;
  animation: dash 5s linear forwards;
}

@keyframes dash {
  to {
    stroke-dashoffset: 0;
  }
}
