Hi,

I have "North always up" selected on my profiles but North does not remain up.  North is up when I browse the map and up when I start traveling a planned route.  However as soon as I start to follow a route the map changes to "direction of travel" which is hugely confusing since the map now usually shows me going in the wrong direction.  I can't find where the setting is to persuade the map to do as it's bloody told and keep North up.  Can anyone guide me as to what I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks!

Evan

In Settings you have now the application profiles: browse, car, bicyle, pedestrian and the ones you possibly make yourself.

Each of those profiles has its own "General Setting" for "Map rotation". You do not mention whether you talk about car, bicycle or pedestrian navigation but in one of those application profiles (or all) you have to change it as well.

Yep, that works, thank you!

(must work out what profiles are for)

You can make derived profiles of the standard profile.
The car profile is using its defaults.
When driving car+caravan or a motorhome/RV, you can adjust the max. speed, width, height and weight, which can lead to a different and more accurate ETA or even to other routes, if the roads contains tags for these parameters.
Another options is for example a "touristic" profile: the standard profile but without motor ways or toll roads.

One big bummer right now is that it worked fine in 3.5.3. It was expanded in 3.5.5 and is now completely unusable (see issue #8019).
It is supposed to be fixed finally in in 3.6, or maybe earlier if it is simple to fix and to merge in the development tree.
