Viewing post in Traveling via compass and not terminal commands

I stopped using the command direction a long time ago and orient myself exclusively by compass, sometimes using a map. And I've never had a problem with compass needle colors.

In fact, the map is not as big as it seems at the very beginning, and the distant satellites are not as far away as it seems. It always seemed to me that Yankee and TR_1 were actually very close to base.

I truly think the compass colors are more preference than anything else (red=north/blue=south) but I still think an arrow instead of a blue dot on the map would be helpful for orientation purposes, especially early on as you are getting your bearings :)

I still don't understand why this is so confusing to people. I didn't feel any difficulties with orientation because of the arrows. By default, the blue arrow points in a specific direction, and on maps the arrow points in the same direction. That's the most important thing. Where it is north or south is somehow not important.

Perhaps, my friend, people are just built different.
