Add the North orientation arrow back to maps. This would be useful to know what direction we are pointing in when navigating, and just for ease of use.
Hi, when i upload a winter activity, like backcountry ski, on the mobile version of the app appears a winter 3d map. Sometimes, depending where the activity was performed, the orientation of the map is wrong and i barely see any of my track. There is the possibility to self orientate the map? Thank you

Thanks for this post. I've tagged it as Product Feedback, so it can be reviewed and discussed by our Team.
Thank you again.
Definitely need it back.
Another vote for returning the button, otherwise how do you return to the correct orientation after rotating the map?
Another vote for the return of the compass. It's very frustrating not being able to see which way is north.
Definitely want this back - it should be a simple change and makes the map infinitely more usable! Especially given that the default orientation seems to be random depending on the activity.
Hi all,
Thanks for the feedback here. Our product team has been made aware of this and once we receive any additional updates, they'll be shared here.
Hi there.
Do you have an update on this?, it really is very annoying!
Honestly, how difficult can it be to simply re-instate a function that should not have been removed in the first place?
Thanks.
Of all the awful changes to map functionality on the last major update the lack of a compass and any means to orient NORTH to the top of the screen are the most asinine. Cannot believe it’s been over a month and nothing has been done about this. What a joke.
Please add the North orientation by adding a compass. It’s a real thing
On the latest versions of Android at least the compass has been reinstated. There’s also this thread about it, surprised they haven’t been merged yet.
