Tutorial

Map orientations


This tutorial demonstrates how to implement orientation controls in your map application. Orientation controls allow users to change the viewing perspective of the map, providing different angles and directions from which to view the same geographic area.

You'll learn how to:

  • Switch between different map orientations (Vertical, North, South, East, West)
  • Implement orientation-switching buttons in your user interface
  • Handle orientation change responses and errors
  • Combine orientation controls with mode controls for enhanced visualization

Orientation controls are particularly useful for analyzing structures, terrain features, and spatial relationships from multiple perspectives. This capability enhances the user's understanding of the geographic context and improves the overall map exploration experience.
