Hi everybody, finally my first post.

I've read a lot during the last weeks, managed some hacks - but one question remains, and the manual isn't very helpful:

Is there any way to only use 3D-navigation?

The "no-north-up in 2D"-issue is bothering me as well as all of you, but in fact, I don't use the 2D-screen at all.

Unfortunately, while navigationg after some time, my unit (F700) switches from 3D to 2D.

Any way to prevent that?

I have tried the search - to no avail

Read the manual, then turn Overview mode off...

I read the manual, turned overview off....

...zilch.

Keeps switching into 2D

Did it do that before you made any mods?

Yeah, did it from day 1.

Maybe I'll have to live with it, because in all other respects, the F700 works like a charm - thanks to this forum.

By overhead view, there's a little wrench icon, press it and adjust the miles setting to max. That should take care of it

Mine has done the same thing, but only 2 or 3 times since I've owned the unit (today being the latest). Only solution I have is press the 3D button to get it back in 3D.
