    @LennyO I think it should say: “In this camera mode, the map does not rotate with your direction of travel but always remains oriented toward the top of the map.”

    @Rob-Verhoeff Bravo! That would stop the confusion for everyone! And this change should be announced to all, as I suspect many people are confused to the point of being frustrated.... me included.

    @nick-carthew Hi, Nick! Would you please assist in correcting the Manual. Thx!

    @LennyO I’m not responsible for the manual and personally I think the wording is perfectly clear. The view is called ‘North up’ and the definition in the manual says
    ‘North will always be up’ I’m unsure what part is unclear!

      @Nick-Carthew Hi, Nick!
      Sorry... i thought you are a part of the crew.
      The issue is the fact that North will not always be up. I wish it was.
      if you put the map in this orientation, you often see that the Red segment on the elevation circle is NOT pointing up, thus contradicting the manual.
      Thank you!

      Positive emotions are worth every penny ;)

        @nick-carthew Nick, to clarify my previous post I should add - when you are in fact heading North on the map in North up orientation, the Red segment may be pointing somewhere else, but be at the 12 o'clock. And since the Red segment always shows where the North is there is a conflict in the definition in the manual.

                @LennyO, "North will always be up" in this context refers to the north of the map, not to the north pole 😉

                I am just an enthusiastic MRA user, and hope you will be one too!

                  I know the North Pole and North on the map are not exact the same. But considering the few segments of the compass, should then the north pole and north on the map be same?

                  (I use MRA Next only on Android Auto. Every comment, suggestion, etc will be based on my usage with Android Auto)

                        @Con-Hennekens Ok, Con! I get it! Not the most intuitive implementation, but it is what it is....
                        Having said that, I strongly feel that the manual needs to be updated to state what you are saying.
                        Who would ever deduce that North does not really mean North when it clearly strates that " in the North Up camera vew ( map orientation ) North will always be up"....
                        When people read "North" they can not imagine taht it means "Top"....
                        I am sure you would agree with that 😕
