I'd like to have a little more control, so I could fit, say, Yosemite Valley in the 5x16 by rotating the map a little.

We can't do rotations..but a hidden pro feature is you can drag the gray frame in the google maps interface to zoom in and out precisely.

The mouse-over pointer change is a well chosen hint and the affordance is fairly obvious. Nicely done.
