My location icon on my Android smartphone

[tnowak]

When I use Windy on my smartphone my location is detected. The "my location" icon has a "pointer" attached to it which appears to possibly indicate North. The icon rotates as I move my phone.
However, if the pointer is supposed to indicate North it is off by at least 20 degrees or more.
Is this the purpose of the icon? That is, to indicate the direction my phone is pointing?
