This seems to be an issue with all such GPS systems. This is one reason
why these systems are no replacement for your other orientation and
mobility skills.

Subject: [gps-talkusers] GPS not indicating direction properly
Hi,
So I was walking around town last night trying to get used to using
Sense Nav. I was with a sited person, and noticed that while it
identified the near POIS correctly, it always said that they were to the
left even though they were in fact on the right side of the street,
where I was walking. Also, there were a couple of instances where I was
literally right next to a place but I never got a "look around poi"
message indicating it was there. Do I need to ajust my settings? Could
I be wearing the receiver incorrectly? I am using the Hollux M-1000
clipped to the shoulder strap of the VS/SyncBraille carrying case. I
normally hold it so the port used to charge it is facing downward and
the light that flashes is on the front. Sometimes it ends up being
sideways when I'm walking, but the light is still facing forward.
Thanks in advance.
Eric
