Nav Owners - Fixed or Rotating Map?

Re: Nav Owners - Fixed or Rotating Map?
I just learned something new today. Having to twist my head to read the screen was starting to bug me.
Thanks for pointing out something that should have been obvious.

I almost always use north-up, more or less because that's how paper maps (remember those?) are oriented and I'm used to using them. I don't find turning confusing at all. I do sometimes use heading-up as a part of split screen NAV. The left side is zoomed out at around 2 miles and north-side up and right side is zoomed in and heading-up. Like many people said, I use that setting in the residential section of an unfamiliar area.

I almost always use North-up.
When I approach a turn with directions given by the computer, it goes to split screen with a blow-up of the intersection and the maneuver I am about to execute, and that split is always Heading-up.
I do not find North-up confusing, even with the split in the other mode, and it helps be keep a sense of which way is north when I am in unfamiliar territory.

The left side is a close up (to the level where all streets show) and oriented to the direction I am driving. The right side is north-up and zoomed out where I can see pretty much a large city's highway infrastructure across the entire screen.
Sorry I don't have the settings available to put down here since I never change it and don't display the zoom level.
