Rotate a map.
      
  
    
Use case
A user may wish to view the map in an orientation other than north-facing.
How to use the sample
Use the slider to rotate the map.
How it works
- Instantiate an 
Mapobject. - Set the map in the 
MapViewobject. - Use 
SetViewpointRotationAsyncto indicate the rotation angle. 
Relevant API
- Map
 - Compass
 - MapView
