Has anyone had any success in affecting marker icon rotation in ATAK clients through CoT streaming messages without custom plugins?

I have attempted setting <track ../> in <detail ../>:

&lt;event .. &gt;  
    ..  
    &lt;detail&gt;  
        ..  
        &lt;track course="90.5" speed="150.0"/&gt;  
    &lt;/detail&gt;  
&lt;/event&gt;

I have enabled the "Process Rotation Render Hints in the Message" setting which states "When enabled this preference will process all visual rendering hints provided in the message to include forced visual marker rotation."

Tested with both standard 2525 iconset as well as a custom iconset.

Looking at the ATAK source - I see rendering hints, but I see no connection to incoming CoT message processing affecting this.

Latest TakDotGov releases (TAK Server 5.8; ATAK 5.8.0.1)

Edit: For those looking for rotation. Yes, supported -- but with a per-app-start bug workaround (ATAK-CIV v5.8.0.1), followed by the undocumented renderhint below.
