# isRotateEnabled

A Boolean value that indicates whether the map uses the camera’s heading information.

```
var isRotateEnabled: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

When this property is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true> and the framework associates a valid camera with the map, the map uses the camera’s heading angle to rotate the plane of the map around its center point. When this property is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false>, the map view ignores the camera’s heading angle and the map orients so that the map view situates true north at the top.
