Rotation operations in a mapping application

For a device that includes a touch-sensitive screen and a touch input interface, a method of presenting a map is described. The method displays a presentation of a map from a particular view of the map. The method generates and displays a rotating presentation of the map by changing the particular view while receiving a multi-touch input and for a duration of time after the multi-touch input has terminated in order to provide a degree of inertia motion for the rotating map presentation.
