There are two ways to show the vehicle's movement in relation to the map. Tap the symbols to toggle between the vehicle's direction of travel or north shown facing up on the map.

When the map is shown with north facing up, the vehicle symbol moves in the actual compass direction on the map. If the vehicle is moving west, it will be shown moving left on the map (east is right, south is down, etc.).

When the vehicle symbol is pointing up, the map rotates under the vehicle symbol following the turns made by the vehicle. The compass symbol indicates which direction is north (N) on the map and the direction in which the front of the vehicle is pointing is shown in the center of the compass:
