Default Question on Compass in game

Has anyone noticed that the compass tool is not correct ie: North is South and East is West.... What I mean is this ... When they taught us how to read map's and use a compass tool... we were taught that North was facing UP... not Down as it appears to be facing in the game .... (I've noticed this trough out the Silent Hunter Series) and that East would face to the right... and West was to the left .... in the game it appears upside down and backwards .... Has anyone told UBI of this ? Does anyone know how to edit this item in the game so that it appears right.... when I use this tool it realy mess's me up

It's like that for a reason.

I'll give you a few more minutes to figure out why though.

The reason is in the pic. While drawing a line, if the orientation was "normal" you couldn't read the course while drawing it.
