    I don't know why I find this part so impressive, but it works not only in portrait or landscape mode, but at any angle. If you tilt the phone at 45 degrees (or ANY angle), the place labels will still be horizontal. So, when you rotate the phone from portrait to landscape, it's like you're rotating a rectangular window on the world .. the labels and the image don't rotate. So, there's no transition point at which the app suddenly changes from portrait to landscape ... it's just perfectly smooth.
