North up vs track up

[WannFly]

i have always been a North Up kinda guy... but last few flights i have been flying track up and i think i like it more...



what do you prefer?

I wonder if this basically correlates with whether you learned about maps in 3rd or 4th grade before or after GPS?

Push the little thing that looks like a compass on the map.

I don’t know what version or platform you’re running Waze on, but on my iPhone you now have to swipe right, with no visual indicator at all :emoji37: to access the panel which will show the little settings icon, which then allows a lock north up.

They use several kinds of swipes now with no visual indication of the need for it. Grrr...

They called it quick access

Haha. So a setting that does not really say what it is - some unnamed thing is quick access - is on a second page accessed from a page that is accessed with an unindicated gesture. Really bad UI design. This is why I tend not to use Waze very often anymore.

But I’m curious. What would you recommend? Google Maps is worse. Apple Maps? Laughable.

I guess I just don’t have much need for live traffic anymore (work mostly from home). I tend to look at Google Maps when I want a map.
