rotating map view? about route-me HOT 5 CLOSED

That's exactly how I do it, although I have a few more requirements. CATiledLayer is actually quite smart in that it really only loads the visible tiles, so enlarging the map view is not much of a problem (in my experience, at least).

Ok, just curious. The one problem I've seen with this approach is if the map stays rotated, getting to the bounds or constraints does weird things, since they are technically out of view because of the rotation corner-covering. But for Maps.app-like behavior where if you pan, the map rotates back to normal orientation, it works fine (providing you aren't physical located near the meridian or the poles).

My solution was to always rotate back to the normal orientation as soon as the user interacts with the map, like Maps.app. If you don't want to do this, then you'll have to take the rotation into account for every constraint or bound which might not be worth the work...

Yeah, that's what I'm doing. I've added a pinch & zoom simultaneous gesture which only serves to un-rotate the map if the center point gets moved.

FYI, the way I've tackled this over in #59 location services was to set clipsToBounds = YES for RMMapView itself but NO for the contained UIScrollView, then rotate the scroll view inside of the map view. That way, overlays get rotated as well.
