Default Is my car confused or is it just me?

Take a look at the pics. I have not really noticed that the rearview seems to contradict the NAVI . or is it just me looking at it wrong?

Make sure that the rearview compass is calibrated correctly. And even so, it's not as accurate as the nav map.

In your current mode, whatever direction you are driving in will be "up". So in that pic, "up" is east. If you want to switch to make it so north is always "up", touch the little compass in the upper left.

Are you trying to get to that white square? Or maybe your compass doesn't have North on top and it's on the setting where the car position is always pointing up? maybe? If it's not that, I have no idea

Well the rearview states that I am going east but the compass on the top left corner of the navi states I am going west. right? Or am I looking at something wrong?

the red is north on your compass. its pointing to the left.. which means your facing east.. nothing is wrong.

I think you need to calibrate your compass ?
