I don't quite know when it happened, but my Google Maps Navigation has gone mad!

I'm driving somewhere and it will decide to show me the route travelling sidewards - instead of just damn showing me upwards (or forwards - depends how you want to describe)

And sometimes, it bloody turns upside down!!
I'm going forward, but the map will display downwards
The only guidance I have is the big arrow
Forget paying attention to the road - I have to keep my eye on that damn arrow and work out in my head which way it's oriented!

I've looked through every damn setting you can make - of which there aren't really any options and I can't find any settings

Have google gone mad??
I'm pretty sure it's a setting somewhere I've missed
Or are they feeling sorry for Tomtom and trying to let them back into the market?

EDIT: I'm using a HTC Desire, UK, on O2 network - not sure if required, but I thought I'd add

Thanks


OM

Have you tried powering off the phone, taking out the battery? I experianced this once and just powered off my phone. That fixed the problem.

Sounds like the compass might need to be recalibrated. Settings -> Location and security -> Calibrate compass. Follow the instructions and see if that helps.

thanks for the replies guys
i found out the answer from somewhere else
on the navigation screen there is an icon for compass
if u press this, it makes the map always point north - if u press again, it makes it come back to normal

i guess i might have just accidentally tocuhed the compass without realising

i was cursing google because i thought they had screwed up the software with the last update or something!
