Add option to rotate the map 180? #122

If you're going south down a one-way street (for example), the map is frustratingly oriented. We can use a transform to rotate the map 180. Native maps rotate the map fluidly, which is a better experience.

Is it helpful to show a sort of trail indicating the path of the user's progress? I'm imagining something that fades with age/distance from the user's current time/place, so that you can more intuitively understand which direction you're going.

That could be helpful even with a rotated map. At some point you might go down a complementary one-way street and forget to rotate the map back.

We might also be able to provide a compass-oriented map on Chrome/iOS Safari: http://mobiforge.com/design-development/html5-mobile-web-device-orientation-events

Ooooh the orientation stuff is really cool.

I've been thinking about tracking user location for a while and will open a ticket about that.
