I have the map of US in my cell-phone.

I'm somewhat confused by its directions however when I look at the map and want to go somewhere. Is the top-part of the map where I'm moving? Or is the top-part North?

Seems it is not North and that is confusing because maps I've seen before have North at the top always.

If I turn 90 degrees, the map turns around. But I thought it was I who turned around.

And if I stop, the map cannot know where I'm going because I'm not going anywhere. So it is almost like I have to start moving before the map can tell me where to turn.

Or if I hold the smart-phone in front of my eyes the top of the map is towards the sky. Am I supposed to look at the map from above?

What are some good tactics on how to use Google-map on your cell-phone?
