 The goal of `GlobeView` is to provide a generic solution to rendering and navigating data in the 3D space.
 In the initial release, this class mainly addresses the need to render an overview of the entire globe. The following limitations apply, as features are still under development: 
 
-- No support for rotation (`pitch` or `bearing`). The camera always points towards the center of the earth, with north up.
 - No high-precision rendering at high zoom levels (> 12). Features at the city-block scale may not be rendered accurately.
 - Only supports `'lnglat'` (the default value of the `coordinateSystem` prop).
