How do I change which side is up during navigation on a TomTom Start classic

SandraStart

I want driving side up. Not the north side up
But I do not see an option to change this in de settings?

I use 2d map

RoadRangerX

AFAIK only the 3D display is North-up. That's how my Ease does it :-/ .

Hi
@SandraStart

The Direction of travel Pointer is flat & squat for the North-up overview Map[/b]


Simply tap on the direction of travel Icon to toggle between the default 2D or 3D driving view (See Note...(1) and the North-up overview Map


The default 3D driving view direction of travel Icon is more pointed

Have you by any chance turned off automatic Map switchng in the Settings menus ???... because unless you are manually Tapping the direction of travel Icon the device should automaticity change to the default Driving view when the vehicle reaches approximately 12 MPH
Default Driving view is 3D
Note...(1) In the setting menu the default driving view can be changed to either 3D or 2D in direction of travel

Hi
@SandraStart

More info on Automatic Map Switching
Automatic Map Switching happens at both the Start and End of you journey
With Automatic Map Switching turned on (Default) the device automaticity changes to the Driving view when the vehicle reaches approximately 12 MPH and Automaticity switches to the North-up Overview Map on reaching your destination

Also at the end of your journey
Automatic Route Clearance Rules (As far as I recall)
(1)… When you arrive to destination the route will be cleared (Inside a 50m radius)
(2)… When the last known location is less than 400 meters from your destination AND it has been more than 120 minutes since the user suspend/turn off device, the route will be cleared automatically on the device.
(3)… When the user suspends the device for more than a week, the route will be cleared automatically on the device.

Maybe useful... In the Setting menu
You can turn off the automatic Map switching to the North-up overview map

With "Automatic Map Switching" turned off when you arrive at your destination the device will continue using your chosen navigation screen to show your present location...


Note... you may need to tap the Plus Icon button (Situated Under the 'Direction of Travel' Icon) a couple of times to zoom in for the map detail
(At least it stops the the Map switching to the North-up overview map with a zoom level view like the view from International Space Station)
____________________________________

Setting-up... From the main screen
Tap the 4Dot (.... Menu) --> Setting --> Appearance....
Turn off Automatic Map view switching
Tap Blue arrow head Icon ( > ) top right on screen to exit

But unfortunately this has an effect to both ends of the journey.....
If you have turned off Automatic Map view switching
Now whenever you have planned a route, you will have to tap the "Lets Go" banner or the "Direction of travel Icon" the arrowhead above the plus and minus buttons
To switch to your chosen navigating screen
The Map does not switch at either the start or the end of your journey
_____________________________________

There are also three options for the Zoom function.....
(1)..... Zoom into next turn
(2)..... Based on road type... I prefer the zoom set to 'Based on road type'
(3)..... None
From the main screen
Tap the 4Dot (.... Menu) --> Setting --> Appearance --> Automatic zoom....
Choose the required option
Tap Blue arrow head Icon ( > ) top right on screen to exit
