Map orientation on ios and android

[Mick Paul]

I am looking for a mapping solution / API for iOS and Android where the map will rotate/orientate to the direction of travel based on GPS inputs.

Can anyone please tell me if this is possible with leaflet?  I find the use of compass mode in the standard google and apple API to be very average and would prefer to use gps inputs to determine direction of travel and orientate map accordingly.

Thanks,
Mick.

You might be able to rotate the entire map container with something like raphaeljs.

Thanks I was thinking that I may need to do some kind of a GPS pos b - GPS pos a = bearing and use offset from North and rotate map.  Thanks I will look into raphaeljs.

raphaeljs is just for rotating the map container.

You can checkout this link for getting the phone orientation, or indeed use GPS calculations as you mentioned.
