Description

## New Feature

As on the web version, it's possible to drag/rotate the globe without being locked by the North Pole and South Pole.

## Why
Because it's available on the web version, and because it gives more freedom to the user to "play" with the globe to fully explore what shown on the map.
That would be amazing :-)

Thanks
