My original comment was a joke. But you can’t see Polaris at all from Tasmania, so even if there’s no good South pole star, it’s better than one blocked by the Earth.
Well it’s just normal for me. The UI should allow fixed orientation for what ever direction you want. The rotation is the problem. Nobody would ever rotate a map like that.
Also having everything rotating around the car as you turn makes it very hard to know what you’re doing.
Man I turn that shit off. Makes me dizzy. N is up.
I do the same thing in video games! I HATE when the minimap rotates all over the place - North is up, damnit!
Spoken with true Northern Hemisphere privilege.
And in Tasmania do they hold the maps South Up? Sigma Octantis is nowhere near as bright as Polaris…

Mine is a joke too, but a serious question: are there significant numbers of people who draw and hold their maps “South Up”?
Are they just afraid of getting cold feet?

People absolutely rotate maps like that.
