clipper: Not speaking for the AP folks, but I doubt you will see a north-up feature for Streets for two reasons: 1). Streets is not an application developed or controlled by AP. It is third party software in use on many GPS platforms internationally. AP just made it available as an option for those owners who asked for a ground navigator application; 2). I have never seen north-up on any automotive navigation system. As far as I know, they are all turn-by-turn track-up oriented - Garmin, Tom-Tom, cellphone navigation apps, etc.. I am curious as to whether there are any ground navigation apps with north-up while actually navigating? Perhaps some vehicle with built-in nav systems? ===Ralph
