Feature

Add a map-orientation control for mobile devices, including Android phones, iPhones, and tablets.

UI

  • Add a button to the top-right map controls.
  • Use the existing assets/icons/north-pointer.svg asset for the button.

Behavior

  • When pressed, align the displayed map with real north based on the device orientation/compass heading.
  • Keep the map orientation synchronized as the user rotates the device.
  • Handle unavailable or denied orientation permissions gracefully, including the iOS permission flow where required.
  • Provide an accessible name and active state for the control.
