Hi
When i active "Linie zu GPS" (German, i dont know the english translation) North is 180°, South 360°, East 270° and West 90°.
Normally i would expect North 0°, East 90°, South 180° and West 270°.
Is this a Bug or can i change some settings for this? Where?
Thx in advance!

Yes, it really happen to me  :-/
Landscape or portrait, North is always 180°
I use the original rom V2.3.4 Samsung S2.
Did no one else have this problem?

probably not, just you :)

so please check settings > sensors > advanced settings

there should be value '0' for portrait angle rotation modifier and 90 for landscape. If you have there other values, set these. If you have these already set, increase both by -180. This should help ...

ah, damn ... my girlfrind finally translated for me "linie zu GPS" ... so I discovered that you mean just line from map center to GPS location :))

ah so I'm sorry ... you mean that correct should be azimuth from GPS to map center and not opposite as it's now?

Ive changed the settings under sensors - advance settings, but nothing happend  :-(
North is always 180°
I didnt understand what you mean with "that correct should be azimuth from GPS to map center and not opposite as it's now"
FYI:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azimuth  
I tried to change the language to english to see how this option is labeled in ennlish, but locus still shows everything in german?! :-(

sorry, I confused you more and more ...

again :) ... forget on this settings. This affect orientation of screen during rotation (I thought firstly that you have this problem).

About your problem. When you enable GPS, move with map north, so you have GPS location in top part of screen, you see around 0°, that's the problem, right? You want to see here 180°. Hmm you're probably right when I think about it. You want to see azimuth from your current location and not from map center as is now, correct?

I made a screenshot to make clear what i mean. :-)
(i hope)
As you can see, my GPS location is below (south) to the center cross on the map.
("Distance rings" is enabled too)
The "line to GPS" function is enabled (in the meanwhile i have english menus) and shows the correct distance but 180° instead of 0°.
Anything clear? :-)
