bateyejoe Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 I have the F900BT and when the map is in 2D mode, it's always north up. Has anyone figured out a way to change this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HiFiSi Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Not yet. As far as it's been discussed, there's no way to change it. Hopefully it's one of the things being addressed by pioneer, but we won't know until they actually say anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bateyejoe Posted June 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 I wouldn't hold your breath on it being addressed by Pioneer. This is a usability issue/feature, and I haven't known Pioneer to address anything but outright bugs in their free updates. They, of course, have sold updates with new features and usability improvements, but even then, I get the feeling that if it wasn't for the development of the next model, they wouldn't have bothered offering anything new to existing customers. So maybe, if there's an F901BT next year, Pioneer might sell us a new set of maps along with a few new features (like user-up orientation). Not that this is surprising. It's standard for consumer electronics and most CE companies function this way. Maybe that's one of the reasons why when a company like Apple enters these markets, they blow the old farts away.

VBLUE42 Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Just a heads up guys this one probably wont change as it is in the manual as a design feature. Why they decided it was for the best is beyond me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
coasterlvr Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 I have the F900BT and when the map is in 2D mode, it's always north up. Has anyone figured out a way to change this? do you mean when the nav is guiding you or just when you are driving around with the map on? i was able to change mine when just driving around. i haven't really used the nav much, but, did notice today that it sometimes showed only north up.
