I always confused with map when north on map actually east in minecraft.The map not suitable for navigation because north is east.Use moon and sun for direction.

I've attached four images displaying that the bug still persist on iPad 2 running iOS 0.3.4, with MCPE 0.15.6. The four images is talking from a world with the seed "mimi". IMG_1052 is the sunset with player facing West, IMG_1054 is facing North with map, and IMG_1055 is facing North without map (but with sign), and IMG_1052 is sunrise facing East.

Note the placement of the pumpkin and the glowstone which in the default texture pack helps determining the direction. Stem of pumpkin going towards North-East. And the lighter pixel (and area) in the South-West corner of glowstone, or brown edges in the North-East corner of glowstone.
