# Set pitch and bearing
Map options extend [`CameraOptions`](https://docs.maptiler.com/sdk-js/api/properties/#cameraoptions), so you can set more than the center and zoom. This example sets the pitch and bearing.
### NPM module setup
```bash
npm install --save @maptiler/sdk
```
#### main.js
```js
import { Map, MapStyle, config } from '@maptiler/sdk';
import '@maptiler/sdk/dist/maptiler-sdk.css';
config.apiKey = 'YOUR_MAPTILER_API_KEY_HERE';
const map = new Map({
container: 'map',
style: MapStyle.STREETS,
// camera options properties
center: [-73.5804, 45.53483],
pitch: 60, // pitch in degrees
bearing: -60, // bearing in degrees
zoom: 10
});
```
