Map events are not $broadcast inside an $apply

[ezk84]

Currently, if I hook into map events using $scope.$on('mapboxglMap:...' the handler is running outside of a digest cycle and so model changes inside of them will not be reflected through the rest of the app.

According to the Angular dev guide, $scope.$apply() should occur as close to the async event binding as possible.

Is there a reason not to do $rootScope.$apply($rootScope.$broadcast('mapboxglMap:' ...)) inside mapboxglEventsUtils.exposeMapEvents or in glControl when adding angular events for the control?

This is relevant particularly when listening to mapboxglDraw events.

Hi @ezk84!

Events was the first things that I did in the directive. Thank you for the advice! I will update a new version with that enhancement.

Thank you!

The only problem may be with the mouse events, where each mouse move would trigger a digest cycle through $rootScope.apply, may be too much no?
