Rotate map to have another orientation than north up

Question

Can you rotate the heading on a map to let an arbitrary direction be "up"?

Hi Thomas, 
 
We checked your requirement and your can be achieved by using framework “Rotation” property. We have prepared a sample with rotation property to achieve your requirement and the sample link is provided below.

Please check the attached sample and let us know if you have any other concerns.

That rotates the entire visual component, and not the map, which works rather poorly for any angle not at 90 degree exact offsets.

Knowing that it is not supported, is a help in itself. Now I don't have to look for it.
It would also likely be an issue with OSM, or similar, tiles with pre-rendered labels, which could end out being upside down.

Thanks for the great support, by the way. Not just answering but actually making a working sample to show your fix.

Hi Thomas, 
 
Thanks for your feedback. 
 
As you mentioned we do not have the support to rotate the maps in the framework.
