That's something I would also really like to know. Coming from an iPhone it is very weird to me that I cannot see in the maps app in which direction my phone points. I would have thought that this is a must-have in any maps app nowadays. I mean, even Apple's maps app, which everybody hates, has this. Or am I missing something here?
subscribing to this - it's silly there is no compass on the map... you have to walk up and down streets to know which way you are facing... iphone 3gs had this..... wtf I thought it was standard!?
