World Map Icon Bearing.

I have a stationary icon "wind" but I want to change the bearing of it. As I want to indicate the wind direction of a specific location on the map.

Does the bearing field only become "active" once you change the location of the icon?

You need bearing in the payload also

```
"bearing": bearing,
```
