Ability to rotate the map on web

[androidseb]

It is currently not possible to rotate the map on web using a PC. This item is about making this possible.

looks like when we right clic it turns into zoom and rotate mode. But how do you quit this mode ?

[androidseb]

I'm not aware of this, are you talking about the PC web app?

What PC + OS + browser are you using to achieve this? Right click for me just brings the browser menu, not related to the app...

it does bring the context menu, but it also triggers this unescapable zoom and rotate mode :)
Using Firefox on Linux
once in the mode I have to refresh (and most of the time resync to the cloud) but the angle of rotation is kept

I was not aware that this was happening. I just tried it on Firefox and I was able to reproduce this.

I believe this is a bug, here is my interpretation of what is happening... When you right-click on the map with Firefox:

• The "touch down" event is registered on the map at that precise screen location you right-clicked
• The context menu appears
• You let go of the right click button, but the "touch up" even is never transmitted back to the map
• If you use the left click to drag on the map, it's as if you had a second "touch down" event, the first one being where you originally right-clicked
• It remains stuck like this until you reload the page

So this behavior is a bug with the Firefox browser...

This improvement will make it possible to rotate the map intentionally.

Flutter Map V6 will support this:

• It was requested here: Rotating the map with mouse & keyboard (web, desktop) fleaflet/flutter_map#1511
• It was implemented here: Support desktop (click and drag) rotation fleaflet/flutter_map#1592

You can test this using their demo page (based on the master branch), holding "Ctrl" on your keyboard allows you to rotate the map when dragging:

Once the V6 is released, I'll upgrade the library version used by Map Marker and this improvement will be included automatically, thank you flutter_map team!!!.

Done in 3.7.0-beta-637.
You can rotate the map by holding the Ctrl key and dragging the mouse.
