Course Up Mode Stability When Stopped
In "Course Up" mode, when ever one is either stopped or moving very slowly, the screen direction is very unstable. It would be nice to have the screen temporarily either freeze in its current direction or revert to N up whenever the speed drops below a certain threshold.
In a moving vehicle, whenever stopped is the best time to orient oneself. This is hard to do when the screen keeps flipping around and stopping in some random orientation. And manually toggling to "N Up" requires removing gloves and pushing a very tiny button.

Sorry for the trouble.
I have created a bug report and will continue to track this. I'll reach out to you if I have any questions to help diagnose the issue.
It may help to calibrate your compass:- On your Android phone or tablet, open the Google Maps app
- Make a figure 8 until your compass is calibrated. You should only have to do this a few times.
- The blue beam should become narrow and point in the right direction.
If you have any further questions, please contact Support here. -
the same problem actually exists even when in "north up" mode, but in that case it's less obtrusive as only the direction-of-travel arrow jumps around (rotates randomly).
