# Map Rotation & Compass
## This feature allows you to rotate your event plan and map for accurate planning.
**What is it?**
This feature allows you to see which orientation your map is currently pointing. It also lets you rotate your map in a different direction.
**Why use it?**
A compass helps you understand which orientation you are currently using. Some users need to rotate the map to a different orientation, allowing them to quickly adapt it to their immediate needs. For example, rotating the map to face landmarks or particular destinations makes it easier to identify key features and plan routes.
**How it works:**
- ***Rotating the map:***
1. You can rotate the map by holding right click on your mouse and dragging the map
***Resetting the map back to North orientation:***
\- If you have rotated the map to a different orientation (for example, South) simply click the compass button to reset back to North;
**FAQS:**
**I can’t rotate the map using the mouse controls.**
Apple lets users configure how right-click, or aka multi-touch gesture, behaves. If you can’t rotate your map;
1\) Try right-clicking, or press down two fingers on the trackpad, then move the mouse or fingers on the trackpad. If that still isn't working, try the below.
2)Check mouse and trackpad settings on the laptop to reconfigure;
System Settings \> Mouse \> Secondary Click switch on
**Does my orientation save when I leave the event?**
Yes, rotation persists on an event-level basis, so as you left it. For example: if your event 1 is at south orientation, if you move to event 2 (another event) and then switch back to event 1, your event will still be at south orientation.
\*If you have multiple levels in an event, your orientation persists on a level basis
(so you can have multiple levels in an event with different orientations).
