Zoom + and - in North Up.
-
Hi MRA team,
I hope you're all well and ready for a lovely Christmas with your families.
When pressing on the compass icon and going to North Up I noticed that if I try to zoom out (-) the map changes to top view.
Would you be able to change it so that it remains in North Up when you zoom out? And maybe change the Compass needle to red for better visibility?
This is helpful when you get to beautiful part of your route, or a great road and want to see where you're at on your route while having the same view when planning the route which is North Up.
Also a (drop pin
) or save location while riding would be great to mark interesting locations or even great roads. Garmin Nav 6 has (Favourite) which drops a 
️ to mark the spot.Well done on the recent update, live traffic is great.
Have you thought about a (Detour) option when coming to road closure? This is available on my Garmin Nav 6 even has Advanced Detour where you can select the number of miles you want your Detour to be in order to get round the closure.
Merry Christmas
️ 
Happy New Year

@JP-d thanks for the nice words!
Best wishes to you too.That zoom / camera change is by design.
North-up and dynamic use a predefined zoom level that adjusts based on your preference (speed, distance to next maneuver, tilt etc).
Top-down is the only mode where we use the fixed zoom level selected by you.
Don’t have any ambitions to change current behavior.There is a button in the menu to save a current location. We can’t just add another button directly on the screen
Adding as favorite is different than you might want (a POI) but that is something we might change further down the road when changing stuff like this on the website too! 
Have a nice christmas!

@Corjan-Meijerink Thanks for your reply. Yes, I forgot about the (Favourite Location). Great to have. Thanks for the explanation. Always looking forward to the improvements you make. Well done to the MRA team.

Yes, this manual zoom with fixed north would be great! Not a big fan of dynamic levels personally, harder to judge in quick glance. And simply used to navigating with North up.Feels like all the options are there, but you just can't make the right combination.

I agree it is very frustrating. On my Zumo I always use North Up and zoom in and out as needed, when doing this in MRA and the map starts spinning I know why I use a Zumo. And when it comes to Android Auto I find it even more frustrating. Can't we have a North Up only version?

@tonyS North up is an old way of Navigating witch some people still want to use. Be my guest. I dont get it but that's me

@tonyS , Why?, now everyone has a choice to select their version of compas. I don't like North up at all, so i don't wish a "only" version of that.
