We had this as a very early prototype in Hunt with the map in one hand and the compass in the other but ultimately it didn't fulfill our needs in the longer term. We needed players to at a glance see their compass cardinals and needed more room and functionality on the map. It was pretty nice to have the map in hand without having to toggle a screen, but the current implementation was found to give us more functionality in general (not to mention resolution, zooming etc).
