Inside Ovi maps, one of the buttons on the lower left bottom.
You can click on the North button to rotate the map orientation...

The gps recognizes N, S, E, W based on the sat lock and the direction the phone is moving in and orients the map accordingly, hence the map's ability to rotate.

it's quite sad really that N97 got the compass but the N900 which using the same GPS chip but losing the compass. I don't know why would they do that to a good device. Should have left the compass in for developer to make use of it.

Why give overcomplicated answers to confuse the issue further?
Digital compass = no.
PS: No, a GPS cannot replicate the functionality of a digital compass.

I've not been that bothered about a compass before -- sure, helpful for navigation, but once you start moving the problem goes away.
Then a friend showed me a great "star gazing" app on his iphone which displays star constellations etc aligned with where the phone is pointing. Actually very nice & useful (for some people!)
So, compass=good, but don't have it. Netx phone perhaps..
