the compass always points to the north, rather than the direction you are facing, I knew this would be a bit confusing, but out of all the options this felt the most intuitive, at least to me, I had tried it the other way around and it just felt very wrong.
Would it be possible for your to change the compass so that the N and S are rotated (arguably, you could ditch the pin then). Not sure if that would make it better?
