segments around altitude display

[peha]

I noticed that 5.1.0-462 has introduced "segments" around the new altitude indicator. One of them is red while the rest is white. Which segment is red keeps changing, I suppose in relation to the device's orientation? So - what does this signify? Is red where north is? What's the purpose of this display - am I missing something obvious?

@peha that’s indeed where north is

@Corjan-Meijerink Nice feature

@Corjan-Meijerink thanks for the clarification.

At first, I was hoping that a red segment at 12 o’clock would indicate that I was within the free speed limit range. The others would then show when I was below the limit. If I exceeded the limit, each segment would then show approximately €50 in most countries and €100 in Switzerland.
The north direction is already included in the camera view icon.
