Hello,

Yes, we do have a 2D mode where you can rotate the map. See this example: [http://cesiumjs.org/Cesium/Apps/Sandcastle/index.html?src=Rotatable%202D%20Map.html&label=Showcases](http://cesiumjs.org/Cesium/Apps/Sandcastle/index.html?src=Rotatable%202D%20Map.html&label=Showcases)

Best,

Hannah
