My car has two screens, a big one for the overview map and a small one for the "next turn" map. I always said the big view to north up. Works well.

Did you set it up that way, or did it come that way?

If the latter what car model comes with 2 screens you can use for navigation?

Tesla Model X, the old kind with the vertical screen.

(However, please don't take this as a recommendation for Tesla cars. I would never buy another one.)

It's not doable because your current location needs to be in the center of the screen in north up mode but can be placed lower in regular mode. Also the non square aspect ratio of the phone screen means that you don't get the same field of view in all four directions.

No it doesn't, so you just identified an easy opportunity for improvement.

Thank. You.

Yes, this is why I usually set mine to look-forward. A 360 degree north-up view is nice, but seeing more streets ahead of me shows me more possible routes if mine becomes blocked unexpectedly.
