Yep, both sim & device, both iPad and iPhone. Interestingly, on the iPhone, it 
defaults to a state that's zoomed in enough that when you rotate, the blank 
strip doesn't occur. But if you first zoom out all the way on iPhone, and then 
rotate, it happens.

That prompted me to try a few other things. On sim & both devices, if you 
change to portrait orientation and pan the map fully to the left (so the map 
content is all the way to the left), and rotate to landscape, you get a band on 
the right edge. If, in landscape, you pan the map, it will always snap to fill, 
and then you can't get the blank strip back, unless you then rotate back to 
portrait, pan the map to the left, and re-rotate to landscape.

Logging the view and the map view's frames in willRotate/didRotate, I get 
numbers that always seem wrong to me (this is portrait-to-landscape):

Will rotate, view frame: {{0, 20}, {768, 1004}}
Will rotate, map frame:  {{0, 0}, {768, 1004}}
Did rotate, view frame:  {{0, 0}, {748, 1024}}
Did rotate, map frame:   {{0, 0}, {1024, 748}}

After rotation, the view's frame still has portrait dimensions. I guess there's 
a rotation transform on it, but then you can see the map's frame does have the 
right aspect ratio. Now, in the past, I've always distrusted the frames 
reported this way, because they've never seemed right.

The subsequent landscape-to-portrait:

Will rotate, view frame: {{0, 0}, {748, 1024}}
Will rotate, map frame:  {{0, 0}, {1024, 748}}
Did rotate, view frame:  {{0, 20}, {768, 1004}}
Did rotate, map frame:   {{0, 0}, {768, 1004}}

Yep, always blank on the right edge, never the left.

Also note, if you launch in landscape mode, it also occurs.

Thanks,
Rick
