Public Property Heading As Double

public double Heading {get; set;}

Remarks

Heading, Pitch and Roll are used to describe the viewing direction in a 3D view. Sometimes referred to as Yaw, Heading defines the angle of the camera rotating around the Z-axis. Imagine yourself as the camera. In this case adjusting the heading would be equivalent to looking to the left or right. The valid range for heading is -180 to 180 which are equal looking south. A value of 0 is looking north.

Heading is the one viewing direction property that is also used in 2D view. In a 2D view Heading determines and will determine the rotation of the view.

Example

Rotate the map view

{
  //Get the camera for the view, adjust the heading and zoom to the new camera position.
  camera = mapView.Camera;
  camera.Heading = heading;
  await mapView.ZoomToAsync(camera, TimeSpan.Zero);
  //Or synchronously
  mapView.ZoomTo(camera, TimeSpan.Zero);
}
