LocationManager gets called multiple times on app startup

Question

So I am dealing with an issue where the LocationManager file that I have, and the didUpdateLocations function, is being called multiple times on application startup and I can't figure out what is causing it.

So I have the following LocationManager:

import Foundation
import CoreLocation
import MapKit

final class LocationManager: NSObject, ObservableObject, CLLocationManagerDelegate {
    
    @Published var userLocation: CLLocation?
    @Published var defaultRegion: MKCoordinateRegion?
    @objc static let getInstance = LocationManager()
    private let locationManager = CLLocationManager()

    override init() {
        super.init()
        locationManager.delegate = self
        log.info("\n : (LocationManager) - Initialize Location Services inside init()")
    }
    
    func startUpdatingLocation() {
      locationManager.delegate = self
      locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
      locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
    }
    
    func requestLocation() {
        locationManager.requestLocation()
    }
    
    func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
        guard let location = locations.last else { return }
        DispatchQueue.main.async {
            self.userLocation = location
            log.info("\n : (LocationManager) - Setup new location as: \(location)")
            self.defaultRegion = MKCoordinateRegion(center: location.coordinate, span: USER_LOCATION_SPAN)
            log.info("\n : (LocationManager) - Setup default region as \(location.coordinate.latitude) and \(location.coordinate.longitude).")
            self.locationManager.stopUpdatingLocation()
            log.info("\n : (LocationManager) - Stop updating the location.")
        }
    }
}

Then I am utilizing it in two separate view files called MapUIView and MapUIView2 and I have the following object in both:

@ObservedObject var locationManager = LocationManager.getInstance

This causes the DispatchQueue.main.async inside didUpdateLocations to run through twice on application start - Is this normal behavior or is it possible to have the didUpdateLocations to run just once, but handle multiple views?
