Maps examples/Google Maps with rotate control

Table of Contents

This page shows examples of basic maps rendered with Google Maps providing a rotate control to manipulate the view of the current satellite map.1

option / value

controls / "-/-" (default), "type, rotate" or "pan, zoom, type, scale, streetview, rotate"

If the controls option is not provided is will automatically be ignored.

This works only in the two methods indicated for the examples and only if the option type is also set to "satellite". Additionally you need to set the option zoom to "18" or even higher.

Examples

Using the parser function

Method 1 / controls=type, rotate

{{#display_map:
 |controls=type, rotate
 |center=40.702764, -74.013383
 |type=satellite
 |zoom=18 
 |height=500
 |service=googlemaps3
}}
