North up

Questions

It would be great to allow the user to enable the map to stay in the same orientation, with the North always facing up, regardless of how the vehicle turn.

In my subjective opinion, a majority of drivers do not use this; but a minority (me) do. Google Maps has this feature.

I hope that this ask would not put too much burden on the programmers. Thank you so much for considering adding this feature.

    North Up

    Please can we have an option (user preference setting) to make North at the top of the map, instead of the map auto-rotating based on the direction of travel?

      Hi @Keith Mitchell,

      North up is already an available option among view modes. You can select it in navigation options, while in driving mode on your phone (not connected to AA or CarPlay).

    It seems that the North Up feature is on the cell phone only. Can this feature be on Apple Car Play or Android Auto too?

    Hi

    You can change this by clicking on the symbol that I marked in red. Then you have several options for the map.
