Is it possible for the map to auto-orient itself so that the navigation always appears as "forward" i.e. towards the top of the screen? In my Android app the orientation is always North-South as if I were holding a map in front of me, which means when I'm heading south it shows me going down the screen and I have to mentally convert right turns to left and vice versa. This leads to a few wrong turns.

In the map menu (top right) you should see an option “Look ahead” - this will rotate the map to the way your route is heading.

Sorry, I meant to add after writing this post - "look ahead" doesn't rotate the map. It has me go off the map so I end up using centred view instead.
