How do I keep maps centered on my position ?

This weekend I had to drive a fair distance in an area unknown to me. I used Maps to calculate a route, which it quickly calculated and drew on the map.

But when I started driving i discovered that the 'you are here' dot moved on (and off) the map, but the map remained stationary, which meant that I had to manually move the map now and then. Not a great feature in city traffic!

So how can I lock my position to the centre of the screen, and let the map move ?

Another feature I would love, would be to have the map rotate so the direction of movement always was up on the screen.
