Hi

Is there a way to rotate the map component in prospective (not the google map, the other map) so that the area i want to focus on be aligned properly in view,

In other words, i don't want the north to always point to the top.

thanks

Doesn't appear to be possible at this time. Consider posting a feature request at [https://ideas.inductiveautomation.com/](https://ideas.inductiveautomation.com/). Be aware that the tile system may be the limiting factor. That is, the tile source may expect north to be up, and may not work with anything else.
