    Hello, all!
    I think I have seen this discussed before, but can not find it...
    Anyway, the North-South-East-West Red segment on the elevation circle is not working properly and therefore is very confusing.
    Has this been looked into and if yes, what is the latest on that?
    Thanks!

    Positive emotions are worth every penny ;)

      The red segment shows the direction to north.

          We aren't a compass app.
          If you stand still be don't do much effort 🙂

            It's given you the direction when you are moving .

                  When one navigates with the app one sees the altitude with a compass indication around the circle. These red segment
                  indicators should show the direction that one is traveling In fact the indicator correctly indicates north and south but east and west is backwards. While traveling east the red bar indicator shows west. In other words with I travel west the red indicator should be on the left. That is not the case now. I am using an iPhone 14 pro max with revision 5.2.0 - 473.

                      Ok, thanks to all!
                      I guess I needed a mental adjustment to understand that the red segment just says where the North is in relation to the direction I am traveling (to my nose... )
                      That said, please confirm that the following pictures show the expected behavior of the Red segment. My map is oriented NORTH, so you can easily see in which direction I am moving. Thank you!

                        To me that makes no sense at all. But then again I never use North up.
                        Something tells me in top of that it only works when using the dynamic camera view but I'm nooit shure

                          @Marinus-van-Deudekom The behavior of the Red segment is the same in every mode. I just verrified it on a ride this morning. In the Dynamic mode the Blue Arrow in the bottom right acts as a compass too, and it coinsides with the Red segment behavior.

                            Agree that it looks strange in the north up view.
                            The red sections points to where north is.
                            Compared to your physical orientation, not the map on your screen.

                              North is north is north, if the map is north up then north is up
                              In north up mode should the red section on the compass not always be at the top & not change?
