> Map control is not a requirement for atlas. This setting controls the map
extent, and zooms (somehow!) to the atlas feature. But you can do atlas
without necessarily change the map extent.
Eg, let's take a map item zoomed on Europe extent, with countries. Keeping
that map extent, you can do an atlas that iterate over the country layer
and highlight the current atlas feature using a different symbology (eg,
$id = @atlas_featureid).
Or the atlas can be to filter some attribute table features... and the
coverage layer is not necessarily a geometric input, it can be a simple
table.
