      And in Tasmania do they hold the maps South Up? Sigma Octantis is nowhere near as bright as Polaris…

        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.

          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?

      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.
