1) Only 10%?

2) I can read either way, but with a road map what’s in front of you is generally more important than what’s behind you. By selecting the rotating map you don’t just get a rotating map - you get your position pushed to the edge of the screen instead of being centered, which means much more information is visible about the space in front of you. I switched views strictly for this effect.

You could still push your position to the edge even if you don't rotate the map.

In theory, yes, but it’s not been an option on any I have used.
