I always use a Chinese spoon compass. They work better before dipping in the chutney.

As I said in my OP, what I find particularly irksome are instructions to walk in a particular direction e.g. head South West on Smathers Street.
Now I know for all intents and purposes that blue pointer thingy is supposed to work like a compass and point north but I always find it has a mind of its own and spins round like a top.
Maybe a quick alert to indicate that you're headed the wrong way would be useful?
Anyhow, I'm now the proud owner of a watch with a built in compass which seems to work way better than GM's effort.

I think there are quite a few alternatives, e.g. http://streetmap.co.uk/ but these compare and how far they are available on Android I've no idea.
edit: The display string in that URL keeps being changed, which is very annoying! Maybe something to do with the autosave featureLast edited by OwlHoot; 11 January 2019, 12:51.

Do you want me to more closely into this?

A post about Google map alternatives breaks CUK rules? Sounds dull enough to be ideal for CUK.
