Default Navigation screen, North up, how?

When I'm using the navigation screen in my 2013 S60 I can use the number buttons to move the screen right, left, up, down etc when I'm trying to find a point on the map but it's really confusing when the map is orientated the way the car is pointing. I'm sure I've seen something in the past to change it to North up but I can't find it. Anyone know how?

It's in the Nav settings.

Do you mean the setting for during the navigation? I'm after the way to set the map to North up during finding a point on the map. Is it the same?

Settings >Map options >Compass.
Compass
Choose how the compass will be shown on
the map:
• Graphic
• Text: the compass heading (upward on
the screen) will be indicated by a letter,
for example N for "North

Mine keeps resetting from direction of travel up to north up which is a pain when driving south!

I've found the settings in the menu for setting North or direction of travel during navigation, and the settings for the compass but these aren't what I'm looking for.

I want to set the map to North up when I'm searching for a point on the map to set as a destination.

I'm sure I have mine set to direction of travel but when I search the map it is always north up

Well, that was nonsense.

I checked this morning - whether I have a route in the guidance or not, the map search is always based on direction of travel, or north up, depending on which you have selected in the map options - I'm pretty sure you can't switch just the map search.
