Is there a functionality similar to Compass in Google Maps for ThinkGeo.Xamarin.Forms?

Hey @Thenishreddy,

We do not have something like this out of the box. In order to create something like that, you can add a button with a compass image in the XAML and rotate that image based on the mapView.RotationAngle property. The click function would then set the RotationAngle back to 0.

Thanks,  
Kyle
