-In this section I list some of the new features of the new Maps API, then describe the steps to set up the development environment in order to be able to test multi touch in the emulator and finally show the "theoretical" method, which will work for most of the {{Icode|UIElement}} objects, except for the Map control.

 If you already own a Windows Phone 8 device and you are only curious about the map rotation, scroll to the '''Solution''' part.

 In the "move" phase, I simply use the slightly-modified version of the angleBetween2Lines function to calculate the angle and apply the calculated value to the map object. The rotate center is the center of the map at the point of the start of the event.

 I found this new feature very interesting and expected that soon the maps will be '''rotatable'''. In the end it turned out that it won't be the case...
-Another reason to pick this topic it that I think there should be a lot more applications out there using multiple touch points. I was curious how simple it is to develop an app which can handle the multiple touches simultaneously.
