Missing directional context for user when using maps #639

Description

Description

When viewing the map, there is currently no indication of which direction the user is facing (heading). This creates spatial disorientation, forcing users to walk in a direction just to see which way their location dot moves on the screen. Computers lack the sensors for this, and not all phones have them either. The indicator should appear whenever it is available.

This refers to the last image (blue beam)

The user would also see the accuracy radius, like you do with google maps.
