Camera Navigation feature planned or not?

Just wondering if in the final version of TG2 you will be able to navigate a planet with the camera in terms of degrees of latitude and longitude?

This would make it very easy to see what you power fractal is like on the other side of the planet, seeing as you never know where you continents are going to appear.

Also a kind of planet selector would be nice. So that you could select a planet and your camera would then be "orbiting" around that planet.

I don't know if this already exists in the Tech preview, but is there a way to rotate planets?  In such a way that you could see what's on the other side?

We do intend to allow better navigation of planets, possibly using a latitude/longitude-type system, however it is not likely to be implemented this year. We will be working on a number of user interface and navigation improvements over time which should make it easier to work with the camera and multiple planets. Planet rotation is also on the list of features to work on but implementation will depend on available development time.
