Viewing the Compass and Changing the Map View on the zūmo XT

Garmin automotive devices allow you to set the map view to either North Up, Track Up, or 3D.

When set to North Up, the map on a device will display North at the top of the screen at all times.

If set to Track Up, the direction you're traveling will remain at the top of the screen.

• Both North Up and Track Up are 2D views
• North Up and Track Up include a compass icon on the map view

When set to 3D view, the map will take on a 3-dimensional appearance; the direction you're traveling will remain at the top of the screen.   

• The compass and legend will not appear in 3D view

To View the Compass: 

NOTE:  Browse map behavior in Track Up mode is the same as North Up, except the compass animates as the map turns in Track Up mode.
