How do I show my direction of travel on my home screen without being in route to a destination?

I have a VIA 1605 device

oops sorry

Thanks, YamFazMan!

I confused it with a Nav4 device.

On this device, there is no feature that acts as a compass but when you go settings- 2D and 3D settings

In 2D view: The map is rotated automatically with the direction you are traveling always at the top.

Hi @bburnham23

Welcome to the community!

Are you referring to the small pointer icon above the + and - sign?

I am not positive... I don't see on the GPS where it says my direction of travel near that plus and minus sign.

Hi
@bburnham23

There seems some confusion ???
Check the first 2 Characters of the devices Serial Number
Find the model of your navigation device and what software it uses
Here... https://us.support.tomtom.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/9521/locale/en_US
Is your device a early Via 1605 (NAV3 Device)

Or one of the later...... Via 1625 (NAV4 Device)
