On my other car's Ford OEM Nav I can set it to show my vehicle's direction of travel as always forward (up?) regardless of "north".

I cannot seems to find this on the F900BT. Can someone point me to this option/feature? Or is this not possible?

as of right now its only possible in 3d mode not in 2d mode, BUT they are working on fixing that in the mod/hack area of the forum, hope they do!

I know exactly what you are talking about man i had the same minor head ache and its just a smple fix more so than i think anybody imagines. So the direction of travel does not move in 2d mode, and in 3d mode its almost as if your flying kind of around the streets lol so what i did was im not sure what its called but in 3d mode if you tap sort of to the right on the nav menu it allows you to adjust the like height control of the it. So just press the arrows until the 3d mode like completly over and inverted on your arrow and hot diggity dog in 3d mode you have it just like you wanted lol i know my directions are hella funky if you need images man id be more than willing to take some to help ya out ... i dont know why ne body didnt post this maybe they did already but it works for me everytime and i love how my pioneer looks now its a great unit .. hope this helps

Thanks guys. Sorry it took so long to reply, Busy weekend.

So, I am not missing something. It has to be in 3D mode!

Hooper, I think I get your point. I'll try that!

Thanks again.

You totally lost me with those directions.

I took it to mean: use the screen navigation arrows to orient yourself directly above your location (looking straight down) and it would mimic 2D mode, while maintaining your direction of travel as always forward.

The problem with changing the perspective of the map in 3D mode is that when you switch to something like the AV source screen and then back to the map, it goes back to the default view. You'll have to move it around again, which I find irritating.

im using CMH's mod and it allows me to save that map orientation thus enabling me to never it reset like your stating which is a pain in the ass but mine saves it .. good luck
