    @Doug-Robinson Do you perhaps mean the compass?

      @Jörgen yes, I mean the compass. I know I can press it to switch between North up and direction up. When I'm in North up the compass points to 2 o'clock, when in direction up it points up when I would expect it to point towars North. Difficult to explain and the insert picture was not working on my phone.

        @Doug-Robinson Does "north up and point to two o'clock" means the direction north is slightly to the right? Otherwise I can't explaine it. So if you make a right turn, the compass should move in the upright position?

          As in the screen print below, north in this case is at the top centre of the screen ... the compass points to the 2 o'clock position and does not change.

            @Doug-Robinson on my mobile device this button only tilts the screen from top view to 2D view. The magnetical north is shown by the blue arrow above the blue dot of my actual location. I think you're using a tablet?

              It’s not a compass to be fair 🙂
              It’s just an icon indicating what the camera behavior is (free / tracking north / navigating).

                @Rob-Verhoeff, that arrow is not the magnetic North, it's the direction of sight, or direction of movement (usually you look in the driving direction 😉 )

                I am just an enthusiastic MRA user, and hope you will be one too!

                  @Corjan-Meijerink then it's a coincidence that te north directs in the same direction of the blue arrow 😬

                      @Rob-Verhoeff, I don't think it is really a coincident 😉 I noticed that, when experimenting indoors, with low or absent live GPS signals apparently, the default position is North. I am not really sure about it, but that's what I guess...
