davidlo is on a distinguished road
Compass Pointing the wrong direction.

Hello,

I recently bought a 2nd hand E46 330i with the 16:9 Nav (MK4)...

I live in Taiwan, and no map for my region is available.

I currently have a Europe DVD map in the system, and although I don't get to see roads and stuff, it is still useful to have that little compass on the upper-left hand corner.

Unfortunately, It seems that the compass always point to the wrong direction....
I switched to "Travel Direction" mode, and if I'm going South, the compass will be pointing upwards (indicating that my front is North, which is not true, because I'm heading South...)

Okay, Taiwan is located at about 25° N, 120° E.....
When I'm going South, I noticed that the Lat and Long on the Nav screen..
Where, If I'm going South, the minutes and seconds increases... (So, for example, 25°1'20"N becomes 25°1'21"N, then 25°1'22"N...., this is incorrect, if I'm going south, the Lat should decrease, not increase.)

So, what's going on here?
