Spin globe
Slowly rotates the map around the globe, a striking effect for landing pages and ambient displays, especially in globe projection (it works on flat maps too). Any interaction with the map pauses the rotation.
Spinning needs the map bounds unlocked; enabling the widget offers to unlock them if needed.
