Been emailing dji but they are not much help. I used the orientation icon in the GO app alot and found it extremely useful. A lot of folks didn’t even know it was an option.
This new Fly app has a similar icon at the bottom of the screen but it is never right. And if you use it, it’s dangerous because you’ll be flying in a different direction then what you think.
As you can see, my compass is oriented as north being up when using my devise and it is calibrated correctly.
Both the controller and MA2 are pointing due north. So why is the icon showing something completely different?
There is no magnetic interference. It does this no matter where I’m at.

Try flipping the phone around, opposite to the current orientation
 
Does it do that in flight? If you walk over and get directly behind the drone what does it do? That icon is in relation to the controller to the drone.

Does it all the time. Orientation of the phone/iPad doesn’t affect it.
iPad compass is correct.
 
What kind of a cable do you use between the iPad and the RC?

Also, have you tried calibrating the compass in the iPad while having it powered on and connected to the RC with your cable?
