You can programmatically adjust tilt and rotation (heading) on a vector map. In
this example, we add some buttons to programmatically adjust tilt and heading.

## Understand the code

### Setting tilt and heading

- Call `setTilt()` to set the tilt angle of the map. Use `getTilt()` to get the current tilt value.
- Call `setHeading()` to set the heading of the map. Use `getHeading()` to get the current heading value.

### TypeScript

```typescript
function initMap(): void {
  const map = new google.maps.Map(
    document.getElementById("map") as HTMLElement,
    {
      center: {
        lat: 37.7893719,
        lng: -122.3942,
      },
      zoom: 16,
      heading: 320,
      tilt: 47.5,
      mapId: "90f87356969d889c",
    }
  );

  const buttons: [string, string, number, google.maps.ControlPosition][] = [
    ["Rotate Left", "rotate", 20, google.maps.ControlPosition.LEFT_CENTER],
    ["Rotate Right", "rotate", -20, google.maps.ControlPosition.RIGHT_CENTER],
    ["Tilt Down", "tilt", 20, google.maps.ControlPosition.TOP_CENTER],
    ["Tilt Up", "tilt", -20, google.maps.ControlPosition.BOTTOM_CENTER],
  ];

  buttons.forEach(([text, mode, amount, position]) => {
    const controlDiv = document.createElement("div");
    const controlUI = document.createElement("button");

    controlUI.classList.add("ui-button");
    controlUI.innerText = `${text}`;
    controlUI.addEventListener("click", () => {
      adjustMap(mode, amount);
    });
    controlDiv.appendChild(controlUI);
    map.controls[position].push(controlDiv);
  });

  const adjustMap = function (mode: string, amount: number) {
    switch (mode) {
      case "tilt":
        map.setTilt(map.getTilt()! + amount);
        break;
      case "rotate":
        map.setHeading(map.getHeading()! + amount);
        break;
      default:
        break;
    }
  };
}

declare global {
  interface Window {
    initMap: () => void;
  }
}
window.initMap = initMap;
```

### JavaScript

```javascript
function initMap() {
  const map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), {
    center: {
      lat: 37.7893719,
      lng: -122.3942,
    },
    zoom: 16,
    heading: 320,
    tilt: 47.5,
    mapId: "90f87356969d889c",
  });
  const buttons = [
    ["Rotate Left", "rotate", 20, google.maps.ControlPosition.LEFT_CENTER],
    ["Rotate Right", "rotate", -20, google.maps.ControlPosition.RIGHT_CENTER],
    ["Tilt Down", "tilt", 20, google.maps.ControlPosition.TOP_CENTER],
    ["Tilt Up", "tilt", -20, google.maps.ControlPosition.BOTTOM_CENTER],
  ];

  buttons.forEach(([text, mode, amount, position]) => {
    const controlDiv = document.createElement("div");
    const controlUI = document.createElement("button");

    controlUI.classList.add("ui-button");
    controlUI.innerText = `${text}`;
    controlUI.addEventListener("click", () => {
      adjustMap(mode, amount);
    });
    controlDiv.appendChild(controlUI);
    map.controls[position].push(controlDiv);
  });

  const adjustMap = function (mode, amount) {
    switch (mode) {
      case "tilt":
        map.setTilt(map.getTilt() + amount);
        break;
      case "rotate":
        map.setHeading(map.getHeading() + amount);
        break;
      default:
        break;
    }
  };
}

window.initMap = initMap;
```

### CSS

```css
/* 
 * Always set the map height explicitly to define the size of the div element
 * that contains the map. 
 */
#map {
  height: 100%;
}

/* 
 * Optional: Makes the sample page fill the window. 
 */
html,
body {
  height: 100%;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}

.ui-button {
  background-color: #fff;
  border: 0;
  border-radius: 2px;
  box-shadow: 0 1px 4px -1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);
  margin: 10px;
  padding: 0 0.5em;
  font: 400 18px Roboto, Arial, sans-serif;
  overflow: hidden;
  height: 40px;
  cursor: pointer;
}
.ui-button:hover {
  background: rgb(235, 235, 235);
}
```

### HTML

```html
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Tilt and Rotation</title>

    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./style.css" />
    <script type="module" src="./index.js"></script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div id="map"></div>

    <!-- 
      The `defer` attribute causes the script to execute after the full HTML
      document has been parsed. For non-blocking uses, avoiding race conditions,
      and consistent behavior across browsers, consider loading using Promises. See
