North Up on Satnav

Although the manual clearly shows a picture of 'North up' setting whilst receiving satnav guidance, every time I use the satnav for a journey, I can only select 2D or 3D. As ex serviceman, north up is the only way to read a map! Am I missing a trick here please?

I'm the same. Pretty sure I just scrolled through #1 in the pic below (each prod moved it to the next option) to change to 'North Up' when I changed mine last weekend.

At work I use N up all the time on radar and ECDIS but much prefer head up on my in-car Navigation screen so the road is orientated to what I see out of the windscreen! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

Yep that is the page I mentioned in first post. It clearly shows satnav is 'on a journey' and that N up is selected. I can't do that!! As soon as I set a journey, it reverts to 2D

Even flying uses head up, North up when planning and checking the big picture! I have my all my sat navs set to head up. MY16 3.0 SDV6 Autobiography in Aleutian silver, stealth pack and toys.

Answered my own question! Page 227 (of my manual) states that IF AUTO ZOOM selected when under guidance and the next guidance point is within approx 8.8km, only 2d and 3d are available. Outside that distance, North up if previously selected.
