Want 2D / Overview Mode to be North Up

Wed Aug 17, 2011 4:55 pm

I seem to be the only person who gets the 2D mode as Track Up, and it's driving me crazy. I want it to be North Up, and can't seem to figure it out.

Running a Mio C310x. Tried a couple different 8.3 builds, they all have the same problem. Sys.txt reads as follows:

[interface]
vga=0
resolution_dir="320_240"
show_exit=1
shutdown_time=0

[map]
2dheadup=0 <- changing to 1 or deleting this line made no difference.

[tts]
tts_buffer=131072
tts_logics=3
priority="HIGH"
always_say_road_names=1
announce_street_name=1
skip_exit_numbers=0
announce_exit_direction=1

[power]
powermgm_state=1

[sound]
queue_length=200

[navigation]
sim_speed_factor=3.0

[rawdisplay]
highres=0


Any suggestions?

iGO with GJ 6.18 skin has this feature as a cockpit button, It cycles through 3D, 2D North up and 2D direction of travel up, You can turn off unneeded options in the menu as well.

HUH ??
I can acknowledge that with GJ 6.18 you will have that icon to cycle 3D/2Dheadup/2Dnorth. However, I have the same options using default skin.

I am using 8.3.2.152657 by the way.

Yah, but I want the Overview mode to automatically go to North Up, then return to the regular 3D navigation thereafter.
Manually selecting it from the cockpit was getting to be a pain (and dangerous while driving!)

Anyways, after much headscratching, finally got it work by adding these to my sys.txt:

[config]
autoset2donmap=1

[map]
2dheadup=1

It could possibly have been of any help to us when you had said from the beginning "I want the Overview mode to automatically go to North Up, then return to the regular 3D navigation thereafter. Manually selecting it from the cockpit was getting to be a pain (and dangerous while driving!)":scratch_one-s_head_

Instead, you said :"I seem to be the only person who gets the 2D mode as Track Up, and it's driving me crazy. I want it to be North Up, and can't seem to figure it out. Running a Mio C310x. Tried a couple different 8.3 builds, they all have the same problem. Sys.txt reads as follows:" :think:

That is something different!!

We are not clairvoyant, in case you haven't noticed!
