    So I noticed that when I use my GPS, the red directional arrow isn't pointing in the direction I'm headed. Any way of changing the way you view the map on the screen. I'd like the screen to mimic the direction I'm head in.

    I hope that was clear.

    Yes, that annoyed me too so I figured it out. Click the top left button and it toggles the pointer direction.

    No, it is just indicating that is your compass. The “E” next to it is the direction you’re heading. E for East.

    The above post is correct, if you press the compass icon it will switch the map orientation from North Up screen to Heading Up screen. If I remember correctly a small N appears above the red compass arrow if in the North Up screen.

    Try it. It changes how the map functions. It makes it turn the direction you are heading. Which is what the OP was looking for.
