Is it possible to setRotation in ol.View with Google maps

Question

I am using the setRotation method for an ol.View similar to the examples available at the openlayers examples page. I have an encoded polyline that is drawn on the map and then we fit to the extent of that layer and if necessary rotate the map.

This all works great with OpenStreetMap and even a custom imagery service. This will not work with any of the Google tile services though. Is there any support for rotation of the ol.View with Google map services, if so, any examples? I didn't see any comments in the API documentation for ol.View and Google map services.

Thanks for any input.

You can use rotate control only for 45° imagery see code like this:

  var map;
  function initialize() {
    var mapOptions = {
      center: new google.maps.LatLng(45.518970, -122.672899),
      zoom: 18,
      mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.SATELLITE,
      heading: 90,
      tilt: 45
    };
    map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'), mapOptions);
  }

  function rotate90() {
    var heading = map.getHeading() || 0;
    map.setHeading(heading + 90);
  }

  function autoRotate() {
    // Determine if we're showing aerial imagery
    if (map.getTilt() != 0) {
      window.setInterval(rotate90, 3000);
    }
  }

  google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);

You can see an example google45°

But for normal google maps the rotation is not avaliable.
