.. she designed show a zero angle at South rather at North....
Cecilia, even if it's not so important, is there any reason for that?

I think that is what Cec kindly tried to explain in the Azure home thread (8828) = view of Virtual visitor. Totally in sync with recent research and 2014 Nobel prize in medicine. Do you hold the map with North up or align it with the terrain...? While I see it can be a bit confusing with Virtual visitor looking South, Sky texture defaulting to East (with Compass unchanged), I reallyn do not think it matters much.

All these new features are brilliant. Showing the Background image in the 3D view, opens up some very interesting possibilities. Thanks.
