I figured out what was going on. The marker's location points correctly
but is *relative to the compass* even when the view setting is "north
always up" and seems to only work properly in portrait mode. This can make
it pretty confusing and difficult to interpret on a motorcycle. Using
"direction of travel" or "compass mode" makes more sense, but moves around
more when riding bumpy roads, which also makes the screen less legible.
A workaround suggested by Bart Eisenberg is to change the navigation
service setting to "straight line" (Settings > Navigation Settings >
Navigation Service). Though I haven't yet tested this, I expect this
approach to be more legible while riding the moto and useful in the "north
is always up" mode.
