I am interested in Azure Maps' animation library. After setting up an account and initialized the map. I found out that the coordinates I put as parameters aren't the ones it shows. For Example I currently live in Tunisia. So I've set up the center coordinates to (36.800697, 10.181198). But, the map gets centered at Addis Ababa for some reason. I am currently following their code example "Animate marker along path". [Github link][1] As you can see I have set up a bunch of mock coordinates. PS: In the following example, I will mask my key.

You inverted longitude and latitude. The azure-maps library expects the longitude first :
map = new atlas.Map('myMap', {
center: [10.305192, 36.817421],
zoom: 13,
view: 'Auto',
//Add your Azure Maps key to the map SDK. Get an Azure Maps key at https://azure.com/maps. NOTE: The primary key should be used as the key.
authOptions: {
authType: 'subscriptionKey',
subscriptionKey: '<key>'
}
});
