Navi system compass

Walter Blady · 01-31-2014, 12:31 PM

Question about the Navi map on my 2012 370Z.

Did a search of the FAQ but found nothing on the Navigation package.

Don't use the navigation system much but I can't seem to find the compass heading on the map. I'm sure I haven't set up the preferences properly. Does anyone know how I can display the compass heading on the navi map? I HAVE installed the 2014 upgrade.

I want to say there isn't one...

bdavis89 · 01-31-2014, 01:18 PM

Never noticed one on mine. I'm sure I would have activated it when I was tinkering with all the settings.

DEpointfive0 · 01-31-2014, 01:21 PM

I think there is a way that is shows your orientation/direction on the map, so you can see which direction you're heading

bdavis89 · 01-31-2014, 01:33 PM

You can see it here. I do have that little compass on mine, but I never use it. Never paid attention to see if it rotates.

is the car turned on?

Walter Blady · 01-31-2014, 03:11 PM

Yes the car is turned on. Should that make a difference?

FPenvy · 01-31-2014, 03:12 PM

is this seriously a real thread right now?

kenchan · 01-31-2014, 03:14 PM

bdavis has a tiny compass on the lower right, so there must be a way to turn it on.

diy: read the manual, i guess.

honestly my car has nav and even the gentex compass on the mirror... i never look at it.

DEpointfive0 · 01-31-2014, 03:14 PM

Lol, oh yeah. I have that too, lol
Guess I just NEVER paid attention to it

TexasChuck · 01-31-2014, 03:29 PM

Those aren't compasses , they are directional arrows,

6MT-Z34 · 01-31-2014, 03:31 PM
