Android navigation apps always oriented to the north.

In android's navigation applications (Google Maps, Yanosik...) maps are always oriented to the north. The map does not rotate according to the direction of travel. Is it a bug or problem with settings ? Native maps application works ok.
Dec-2017: Sailfish X on Xperia has compass issues as well for Android Apps Here.
My Google Maps rotates as selected and is not always north up orientated.

Sailor ( 2014-01-16 19:54:24 +0300 )But I use also Yanosik (polish app, from store) and it has the same north problem :-(
Slawek ( 2014-01-16 20:02:32 +0300 )Ok, in navigation north ist not always up. But in only maps mode north is always up and cannot be changed because the multitouch gesture for flipping the map is not working.
