You can see that the map scale overlay is also rotated along with everything else on the map. Thanks for the explanation It wasn't intuitive for airfields when the map is simply a single runway .... perhaps add a north arrow or something? Would be nice to have Taxi ways and holding point names in the pack briefing at printed out. As well on start as after landing and clearing the runway at an unfamiliar airfield it can be handy to draw your taxi instructions on paper/map right away or at least have them visual without having to look these charts up first on your tablet. Also easier for read back to ATC on larger airfields

If I select 'briefing pack' it shows the runway approximately as a 12/30 orientation. I think I've seen this behaviour affect other airfields too.
