Compass Option: Fix North (Discussion)

I find it disorienting that the compass view turns as I turn. The only thing this tells me is that I'm pointing forward, kind of useless (the NSEW markers on the compass don't catch my eye). For this reason, I have to use both the mission map and compass together to navigate. It would be nice to have the option to fix the compass north and add a slim arrow indicating my current direction (not like that cumbersome mission map arrow). Alternatively, you could add all compass functionality to the mission map and let people use whichever they want.


Why this is a good idea
  •  Better for people who think that north should always be at the top of the screen instead of spinning around in circles.
  •  This would be an option so those who like it otherwise can have it that way.
Why it may not work out
  •  Another option in a sea of options.
