North up and zoom
-
As @JP-d suggested earlier, I would really like to have the zoom out option to stay in north up mode. That way it is much easier for me to get oriented. Imagine taking out a map and have the bearer of the map circle the map in any direction. It would make it much harder to see where you are and where you are going. I always drive with north up, as I prefer to know which direction I am heading. Zooming out and having the map orientation change makes me loose my orientation, so zooming out has no value for me now. Pressing the compass symbol zooms in again...

me too!
I know, zooming (auto zoom) is a very long lasting discussion. And I still don't understand why in App settings, there is an option for auto zoom yes/no - but the camera view "North up" doesn't repect it!
It's really a pain, if you stay and need orientation and using "North up" - and the app zooms ongoing automatically against your command

Yes, my wish also...

I support having the zoom-out option to stay in north-up mode!
There is the compass (or on the remote, the C button) to change the view after checking something. -
I would like to have both options as I use the zoom out for different reasons. In CarPlay, I can select the whole route for orientation but it would be handy to be able to zoom in a bit more. That said, I use the manual zoom in direction of travel a lot. I rarely use the North up fixed zoom as I want to be able to adjust this zoom level instead of going into full route view. Having four zoom options would be my preference or, I know that @Corjan-Meijerink would have a thought on this, a configuration option in settings to select which zoom views you want.
Bottom line for me is to be able to have the option to zoom in and out on North up view but not lose the other options. Could there be a toggle that retains the last selection for a North up in manual zoom view that is selectable in the view?

Count me in for this, too. I had a monthly subscription to MRA Gold and Navigation, but let it expire because I just can't navigate without being able to zoom out some to view what's around me, and I just can't make sense of a map if it's not north-up. I would buy the lifetime if "north-up with zoom" were an option. I occasionally come back to check the forums specifically looking for this one issue.
