I don't have the numbers on top of the zoom +-. What is that elevation? And how do you turn it on. Thanks.

@Corjan-Meijerink well done. What about being able to zoom out (-) in Dynamic mode?

[Corjan Meijerink]

@JP-d that’s actually not MRA.
And no, no further zoom changes but it’s something I want to tackle

That is an Android App, called Maps Altimeter.

I actually like having the compass symbol visible when the map is locked to north-up. It makes it much easier to tell at a glance whether the map is rotating with your direction of travel or staying fixed.
For anyone new to map orientation, I recently came across https://123compass.org/ and found their explanations of north-up vs heading-up views pretty helpful. It cleared up some confusion I had when switching between different navigation apps.

@kendra With the new Altitude meter you have an indicator in it with the colour red. That indicates where North is.

I never use another mode than North-Up. As it seems not possible to block any other mode, I really appreciate the new Icon indicating the North-Up Mode being locked for the moment!
However, when zooming out in order to get an overview, it always changes the mode away from North-Up. So I once again press the button to enter the North-Up mode, but then it zooms back in again. So its very inconvenient to get an orientation as like as on a paper map. Why does it zoom back?
