Default Another Factory NAV Question

Hey,

I had a Garmin for years and loved it. Now I have the factory Nav in my 2008 tC. My question is simple, is there a way to make it so you are always facing up? On the map, it always shows North as up and the icon representing the car will drive left right or down. Is there a way to make the map shift with you turning so the car is always facing forward?

should be able to push on the screen where it says "north" or on the indication arrow of where you are going.

Haha that's great. I was going in the back settings and everywhere and I didn't think to just press that.

Worked like a charm. Thanks Blaze.

just my opinion and the opinion of consumer reports, most portible navigation systems are way better than indash factory navigation systems. especially garmin. my gf has garmin in her xa, my dad has factory navi in his porsche cayenne s, and my bro has it in his new cls 550. the garmin rules. the factory ones suck, once you get off the major road, your in the middle of nowhere.

I completely agree... the only reason I got the factory one was for the screen and the iPod controls in it.... The navigation is hard to use and it isn't very accurate... but hey, I don't travel that much and I'll just bring my garmin with me when I go...
