Map "spinning" when standing still

[Vincent Curren]

I also have had the issue navigating with an older Kyocera E7110 on the phone screen without Android Auto. 180 degree turns, usually settling on the opposite way to the direction I was traveling. Functionally, it's mostly a problem for me on a roads I don't know just after I've made a turn and have to stop for traffic or a red light. Under those conditions, it's easy for me to get confused about whether I'm going in the right direction.

Same issue here on my iPhone Air. Managed to work around it with an automation in the shortcuts app.

@Corjan-Meijerink Is there anything on the horizon, regarding potential updates, if/when a fix or workaround might be found? It seems, since the last update the app waits longer (i.e., there's a delay of several seconds) before the map spinning starts, but it's still there, unfortunately, and not a good experience, as already described ad nauseum in this thread. I understand there's no such thing as a definite date or promise of any kind, but may I ask if the problem is being investigated further - is this being worked on still? Thanks!

@Corjan-Meijerink I'm bumping this; is this issue being actively worked on?

I can say that is a little annoying when on an stop, it rotates 180 degrees and hides all route .

I’m trying to understand why and how… and my impression is about. Compass tries to to be on pointing north, or if not possible, gets northern street direction.

I’ll continue to look for a pattern, but sometimes I’ say bad words under my helmet.

Please take a look on it

Hi all,

I can confirm this behaviour on Fossibot F101 Pro running Android 13 and Google Pixel 9 running Anroid 16. App is most recent Play Store version on both.

Hi all,

same here: I had the same issues the last 2 days, but sometimes verything works just fine. I haven‘t been able to find out what gibt trigger it. Remembering some technical details around GPS I know that it is sometimes pretty hard for GPS devices to identiofy the direction, when there is no moment. This would explosion, way it is getting in the right position and direction, as soon as you start moving again.

Hopefully my bike will NOT "explode" tomorrow when I'll open the bike season 2026

Sorry, for scaring you a bit

@TomOnTour Sure, I know that you wanted write " explain" instead of explosion.
My comment was also intended as a joke.

@Corjan-Meijerink

There are currently two of us travelling through Slovenia and Croatia...
My colleague uses MRA on an iPhone; I use Android.

At the moment, whenever we stop at a traffic light or a stop sign – whether in town or in the countryside – the map on both devices starts rotating while we’re stationary 🤬

Earlier, we had to turn around at a roadworks site... I wanted to zoom in to see how we could get round the roadworks... then, whilst searching for an alternative route, the map started rotating.

This is extremely annoying, and it’s also a hassle to search for a different route with the map upside down.

Please fix this bug as soon as possible.

Thanks

Will be fixed soon.

@Jörgen Thanks for the link to the other conversation which I have already read.

I just wanted to keep this annoying issue in Corjan's mind.

Slovenia is geil at this moment . Wir are almost alone on the on most of the streets.

[Corjan Meijerink]

The issue has been identified.
Unfortunately the HERE SDK is the cause
They have fixed it in a recent update but that version contains another issue causing us definitely not to update just yet.

Developers informed me that the blocking (other) issue is solved in their next update so hopefully it’s available soon
