Navigation question - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Is there a way to change the navigation system so the arrow representing your car always faces forward and the map rotates? It's really disconcerting when the arrow turns. I'm so used to the other way.

Hope that makes sense!

yeah, when on the map screen there's an icon on the left side that changes between north-oriented, car-oriented, and 3d overhead views.

Click on the "North South East West" Icon with the red north arm....It will change that for you.

I find it even more disconcerting when the nav system tells me to turn down roads that don't actually exist or show me driving off the map when I can see a road right in front of me that looks like it's been there for at least a decade. I think the guy they bought their maps from must have knocked off early most days to go drinking.

Everytime I go down I95 in Detroit my Garmin starts screaming at me "you are on no known road". Pretty sure I95 has been there a while now.

After that last mod, you should really exercise caution when you hit 88 mph.

Dude, how else do you think I have enough time to post 12,000 times in one year?
