-In the top-left corner of the map you can find a  **compass symbol** . You can add your current bearing next to the compass by enabling the option at (  `Settings - Map - Bearing` ). When you enable this option you will see an additional label below the compass with the usual abbreviations for geographic directions (e.g.  `NE`  ).

 The **arrow of the compass symbol** shows the direction to the geographic north of the map.
 The **label below (letters of compass directions)** shows the compass bearing, i.e. direction of current movement.

-In general:
+**In general:**
-* **Inside navigation ("Navigation mode"):** By tapping the compass you can switch map rotation &amp; tilt on / off,
-* **Outside navigation ("Browse map mode" and "Follow location mode"):** By tapping the compass you trigger a map orientation dialog. - With `Manual` selection, if map is rotated / tilted with gestures, then 1 tap reverts map back.

 **A "Navigation mode":**
 Tapping  the compass toggles directly between turning on and turning off map rotation (hint appears in a bubble):
-**1) `Map rotation: Off`:**
+**1) ''Map rotation: Off'':**
 Top of map remains directed to north
 (you can rotate the map with two fingers, but also in this case with 2 taps the map rotates back to top = north),
-**2) `Map rotation: On`:**
+**2) ''Map rotation: On'':**
 Orientation of map follows current direction of movement (i.e. the location arrow remains upwards),
 You should choose
 **(1)**, if you prefer to stay orientated about geographic north always while moving - then the label informs you about the geographic direction of your current movement (and the location arrow rotates too accordingly),
 **(2)**, if you prefer to see always the course of the route in front of you towards the top of the map - then the compass informs you about the direction of geographic north of course rotates).

 **(3)**, if you want to get information about directions without moving,  because the device's compass does not need movement; but  this may have the disadvantage of erroneous readings due to device sensor quality without calibration and being affected by near electronic equipment.
