Description

Hello. I am a student who is trying to use your project for geospacial data analysis.
I find your project very conveinent and easy to use, especially in data visualization over time. For a noob like me who knows basically nothing about HTML/CSS/JS but can use Jupyter Notebook, this greatly helped my project. I appriciate for your good work.
However, my teacher pointed out that maps generated by kepler.gl does not meet the specifications of map design, specifically, **a compass and a scale** is required for any standard map.

## Solution
Basically, add a compass and a scale to the map, maybe in the bottom-right corner which is basically what all online maps do.
Or even better, make it a layer in "Base Map"

## Additional Information
I failed to find some sort of funtions or APIs to add this component in Jupyter Notebook. If what I want already exists, please help me add it to my map. Sorry for disturbing.

Also worth mentioning, I failed to run kepler.gl (conda-forge package, Python 3.9) in Jupyter Notebook (Windows 11) for some reason and needs help too. I can progress on my project only because I borrowed my classmate's macOS laptop...
