Yep mine's squint. Hadn't noticed it before so dunno if it's a new feature. On iphone
On the ios app if you rotate the map so north isn’t at the top of the screen a compass appears. Click that and the map re orientates to North at the top of the screen. Then the compass disappears
Ps orientation send to be preserved in searches
bingo!
Has anyone experienced problems with the compass on the OS app pointing the wrong way? I reported it a couple of years ago but they said it must be my phone but since then the app has been updated and I have a new phone and it still does it sometimes - usually 90 degrees off. Â Not a problem when you are in civilisation but could be a danger on a foggy mountain top.
I have checked against the Apple built-in compass app and that works fine even when the OS compass is playing silly beggars.
I've had that issue in the past. I always carry a proper compass if I'm out and using OS maps to navigate as I don't trust the one in the app as anything more than a rough guide.
At times it works fine but I wouldn't trust it for a safety decision.
My latest update seems to have sped it up and solved any issues I was griping at...
Oh, I didn't know there was a layer for open access... That sounds useful. How do I find that on the Android app? I've only got 3 layers available, standard, topographic or aerial
