This example creates a map showing satellite imagery tilted at 45 degrees, along with a button that will rotate the map periodically.
TypeScriptlet map: google.maps.Map; function initMap(): void { map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map") as HTMLElement, { center: { lat: 40.76, lng: -73.983 }, zoom: 15, mapTypeId: "satellite", heading: 90, tilt: 45, }); // add listener to button document.getElementById("rotate")!.addEventListener("click", autoRotate); } function rotate90(): void { const heading = map.getHeading() || 0; map.setHeading(heading + 90); } function autoRotate(): void { // Determine if we're showing aerial imagery. if (map.getTilt() !== 0) { window.setInterval(rotate90, 3000); } } declare global { interface Window { initMap: () => void; } } window.initMap = initMap;Note: Read the guide on using TypeScript and Google Maps. JavaScript
