current position is on the center with map orientation "movement direction"

[532910]

When map orientation is "movement direction" the current position is shown on the bottom of the screen:

When map orientation is "no rotation (north upwards)" the current position is on the center:

But sometimes, when map orientation is "movement direction" the current position is on the center.
And this is a bug. The workaround is stop navigation, close osmand and run it again:

Не совсем понятно как это происходит (Not clear how to reproduce it)

I don't know how to reproduce it.

I only know that it happens after switching from "no rotation (north upwards)" to "movement direction".

Same problem here.
(OsmAnd+ 3.2.7 on Android 6.0.1 on Samsung Galaxy S5 New (SM-G903F))

Reproduction:
(Starting with OsmAnd+ setting completely erased.)
Download initial map.
Start car navigation : The current position is properly at the bottom of the screen:

Tap the "map orientation" button twice: the button disappears.
The current position is now in the center of the screen:

No matter if I stop and start navigation again, the current position stays at the center of the screen (which is a problem for car navigation).

If I rotate the map so that the orientation button re-appears, taping on it will not put current position back at the bottom of the screen.

Interesting. If you set the orientation back to "movement direction" the position should be at the bottom of the screen again. Only for "compass orientation" and "no rotation" the position will be in the center of the screen. This is my experience with OsmAnd 3.2.7 and car routing.

I cannot set orientation back to "movement direction".
The orientation button has disappeared.

If I manually rotate the map, the orientation button re-appears, but only shows "Set to north".

When I tap it, the orientation gets back to "North" only as expected, and the button disappears again.

The disappearing map orientation button is (unfortunately, IMHO) deliberate behavior and has already caused various confusion (#3294, #5118 and #6077).

So it looks like this bug is related to letting this button disappear / reappear.

The problem is not that the button disappears: It's that it does not let me go back to "Movement direction" mode.

The only option the button has is "Set to north". Then it disappears again.

I found a workaround to get back to "Movement direction" without the button:

Go to Settings > General Settings > Map orientation > Movement direction.

So it looks like this bug is related to letting this button disappear / reappear.

The original bug is not related to this button.
