Maps won't show my direction of travel in my car

I thought the Maps app used to show the direction I was traveling. Now it only shows a map with North at the top. Doesn't anybody know if this can be changed so the arrows are going in the direction of my travel?

Google maps and maps can’t work I tried deleting and re-downloading and even reinstalling the device but the app still doesn't work. To make it easier to understand, I use it to go from point A to point B, but the icon that displays my car is slow or after I pass a road with a curve or turn in different directions, it will display that I have passed that road after 5 to 10 seconds, which makes my travel experience extremely bad.

I have to ask... did you click on the pointy arrow to reorientate?
