MyDrive Map display starts tiltng and rotating

SomersetBoy

When using MyDrive there are times when the map starts to tilt and rotate with mouse cursor movements for no reason that's apparent to me. I cab get it to return to 2D flat view with North at the top by clicking on the compass but as soon as I move the cursor again the maps immediately starts rotating and tilting again. It makes it unusable in terms of plotting or manipulating a track so I have to close down and start again .

Anyone able to help?

That's normal... The 3D view is a feature... Right Click on the Map and hold the mouse button in, move the pointer around to change the Map angle view point and Up & Down to change the viewing plane
Click the North-up Compass button under the + & - Icon (Screen right) to revert back to the normal North-up 2D view

Hi Thanks for getting back to me

I've tried doing that which resolves the issue very briefly, but as soon as I move the mouse pointer back over the map again it starts rotating and tilting again straight away and I cannot select further points or slide the map up/down left/right etc. Sometimes the compass disappears and isn't there either.

Is there anyway of switching the feature off as it seems to have a life of its own! :-)

When you have finished viewing in 3d you need to click on the compass, see

to return to you current position click on

Ah. When I do that it takes me off to the centre of london ( I live in somerset) and anyway as I'm trying to plan some trips in france I have to renavigate a few hundred miles across the map!

How can I change that default map centering and stay on the part of the map I'm working on?

Many thanks

The first time you used the MyDrive Web Route planner a small window opened to ask you if you wanted to use your present location as your default location... This is called Geo-Location I guess you answered yes
