[Routing] How to make the driver direction is always the north direction

[jiatao83]

Thanks for your prompt reply. If the direction of driving is north, we may possible not rotate the map. But if not, we may rotate the map. And the probability of Driving north is very very small, so in most cases We need to rotate the map! Anyone could help me? Any suggestion is highly appreciated! thanks in advance.
Regards.
