Rotating the Map

You can use the map compass to get the best view of a location. The map compass rotates everything visible in the viewport, including imagery, basemaps, areas, and more.

By default, an image of Central Park in New York City shows the park on an angle. By setting the map heading to 331°, you can view the park at a "grid-like" angle.

Do any of the following:

• Display the Compass Select Map Compass. The compass opens.

  To open the compass, you can also select and hold ALT on Windows, or select Command ⌘ on Mac.

• Hide the Compass Select Map Compass again.

• Rotate the Viewport In the compass, click and drag the pointer. The value in the center of the compass indicates the angle of rotation.

• Reset Compass to North Select Reset Rotation.
