What is it?
This feature allows you to see which orientation your map is currently pointing. It also gives you the ability to rate your map to a different direction.
Why us it?
A compass helps you understand which orientation you are currently using. Some users need the ability to rotate the map to a different orientation, allowing them to quickly adapt the map to their immediate needs. For example, rotating the map to face landmarks or particular destinations makes it easier to identify key features and plan routes.

Does my orientation save when I leave the event?
Yes, rotation persists on an event level basis- so as you left it. For example: if your event 1 is at south orientation, if you move to event 2 (another event) and then switch back to event 1, your event will still be at south orientation.
*If you have multiple levels in an event your orientation persist on a level basis
(so you can have multiple levels in an event with different orientations).
