Compass Rose

Hello, all!
Can we PLAEASE, put a compass rose on the navigation screen, better yet have it as an option?
This would help tremendously with all the confusion with North up, turning maps, etc,....
THANK YOU!!! -

THANK YOU!!!@Lenny-O As far as I know there is! And you can click on it to change the viewing mode.
But there is a minor bug, which is that in North up mode the compass does not turn when I turn the map on the screen with two fingers. It does turn in the other modes. But when you select NorthUp why would you turn the map...
Edit: reading this post again, I assume you meant a compass which turns with the phone. Yes that would be useful, then there is no need to use another app for that.

THANK YOU!!!@Lenny-O When you click on the rose the camera view will change and you get a pop up witch camera view is then active.
It's not a compass itself. I guess that's why you are a bitt confused -

I second this from @Nick-Carthew - making the north pointing half of that dial dark/red to make it clear which way north is.

If memory serves me at all, TomTom used to have compass/north pointing indicator built into the location triangle icon which I thought worked brilliantly
(think it could be toggled to alternatively point to the destination)
As you are constantly looking at your position location it was an very easy way to quickly know which direction you were headed -

I hadn’t realised that I’d made a suggestion!
I was merely pointing out the compass icon.

Actually @Nick-Carthew, I think that @David-Emmett suggestion is FANTASTIC!
Can we get it done? -

Can we get it done?@Lenny-O When I'm traveling in north-facing mode, north is always at the top of the map anyway, please correct me if I'm wrong.
That's why it's called north pointing!
Why then also the additional information in red on the compass? -

Can we get it done?@Lenny-O The compass icon changes after you tap it to indicate which camera view is being used, so I’m not sure that suggestion would work now.
Personally, I know which general direction I am travelling in by knowing the direction of my route and by looking at the natural clues that surround me. The sun
being the biggest clue. So I’m not bothered about having a moving compass needle.
