Rotate MapView?

Is there a way to programmatically rotate a MapView?

I would like to rotate the map to orient it with respect to the rhumb-line (course from previous mark to next mark).

I have tried spoofing both MapView.setMapVisibleArea and MapView.setScreenVisibleArea with no success, including a crash: "bottomRightX and bottomRightY should be greater than topLeftX and topLeftY respectively"

The MapTrackView orients the map according to the compass, but that is not applicable to my use case, but indicates that it "should" be possible.

You can;t change it in CIQ, but map orientation is set in the device settings for maps on the device outside of CIQ. You can select north or track.

Unfortunately that’s little comfort for me.

Can we make it a feature request to allow programmatic map rotation please? The user preference for general activities is irrelevant to my use case, in my app I want to rotate the map to follow a vector that I calculate.
