Problem

When compass map orientation mode is active, the compass button does not provide a sufficiently clear visual distinction between its on and off states.

Expected behavior

The compass orientation button should have an obvious, persistent indication of whether compass orientation is enabled or disabled. A visible border or similar high-contrast state treatment could be used for the active state.

Acceptance criteria

The active compass orientation state is clearly distinguishable at a glance.
The inactive state remains visually distinct from the active state.
The indication has sufficient contrast across supported map backgrounds and does not rely on color alone.
The button continues to expose its state accessibly through aria-pressed and its accessible label.
