Yes I see the cardinal directions, but if I'm looking at my main map trying to figure out where to go, and planning in my head "okay I need to take a left and then a right and then another right..." Then exit out, look at my mini map, I either have to align it back so north points up top to get my bearings or if it's fixed I have to move my characters forward to see which direction the camera is facing so I don't mix up my lefts and rights.
