Maps - Rotate so that 12 o'clock is the direction I'm facing

Former Member over 4 years ago

Hey folks!

Using Maps: Is there a way to always have 12 o'clock the direction I'm facing instead of the blue arrow. I can do this on my eTrex 32 which helps enormously interpreting my surroundings.

Currently, I have the blue arrow icon which does work but can sometimes be a little difficult due to the small screen.

Go in to the maps settings and change the orientation to Track Up instead of North Up. That should do it for you.

Also you can set it Globally (as eric did) or per activity type by going into the activity then

Activity settings -> Map -> Change "Use Sys Stettings" to OFF and then you can customise the map just for say WALK, or RUN

Hello Eric, thank you for your advice. I already have that setting, globally too and I still get the blue arrow icon moving along the map and what I assume to be North staying at 1200! I have tried setting it to North Up then back again but both settings have the map not rotate according to the compass bearing.
