Hi Team, 

We are looking to limit our users ability to rotate within the map widget on one of our applications. We have found that some of our users have accidentally rotated the map, and are unable to get back to the default view. In the application there is no need for the rotate function to be used, and so we would like to disable it. 

Currently, the only option for disabling the rotate functionality is to un-toggle the enable scroll zooming option. We would still like our users to be able to scroll in and out using the mouse. Is it possible to separate the scroll and rotate capabilities into two toggles so that one can be enabled/ disabled, without the other?

Thanks!

We really need this.  We've developed an ExB app that will primarily be used on mobile devices and in the first group of users we trialled the app with a number of them managed to rotate the map and couldn't figure out how to re-orientate it (pressing the compass button was not obvious to them).  We really need the ability to disable map rotation, particularly on the Mobile view but preferably on all views.  Fully support this idea.
