Map Orientation

[Rupuze]

Is it possible to orient the map to have the HEADING at the top rather than NORTH?

On my Spark and MA2, if you tap the corner of the map to full size, there should be some icons listed, one of which is a compass lock / unlock option.

Yes, this is a very helpful feature. With the display set to Heading Up (that is, with respect to the controller, not the drone) and the direction/attitude indicator shows the drone facing the same direction as you (red arrow in the circle pointing up)
THEN
navigating becomes intuitive because what you see looking over the controller, what the drone camera sees, and what the controller map shows all line up. The controls now behave much like they do when driving a car.

Thank you! I never noticed that icon before. It shows the orientation of the Controller. So if I move my body in the direction of the drone, I have a better picture of where the drone is.
Thanks again

As a side benefit, you will also have a stronger link between your controller and drone.
