Comment on I would personally just treat whatever direction I'm facing at the time as North and go from there.

One time I called 911 because I was following a drunk driver that had collided with multiple vehicles and kept driving. The operator asked me what direction so I looked at my maps app and it said I was going west so I told them west and they said “Sir that street doesn’t run west.” I was speechless after that.

So you might’ve been going west, but not westbound. Roads curve often in the USA at least (i’m guessing you are from the USA because 911)
