    Does anyone know if there is a setting to make it my navigation arrow always points 'up' on my screen?

    The default setting is that north is always 'up' on the screen, but I want to switch it.

    Thanks in advance!

    Sure. Just press the little compass in the top left corner of the screen.

    You can also use the voice commands "North Up" or "Heading Up" to toggle this setting.

    You've really got to wonder why North Up is the default, I'll bet that most folks want the direction that they are heading up.

    It's conventional on chart-plotting navigation systems. It comes from the map standard of having north up.

    on my rig, the North Up setting is NOT the default.

    Thanks for all the help!
