# Animate map camera around a point
This example uses [`rotateTo`](https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/api/map/#map#rotateto), the JavaScript [`window.requestAnimationFrame()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/window/requestAnimationFrame) method to continuously rotate the map, and the [`interpolate`](https://docs.mapbox.com/style-spec/reference/expressions/#interpolate) expression operator to animate the map camera around a point.

**React**
```jsx
