Re: N8 maps

Once you get the GPS Lock.. Tap once on the compass icon  and it will show North UP again tapping the compass will show Destination up..

Re: N8 maps

When you first open the Maps application, select 'My Location' allow phone to lock then tap compass icon. It will be red, flick the phone to about 45 degrees a couple of times and the compass should turn green , this action calibrates the compass, it will now point north as you move the direction of the phone !

Good Luck
