Navigation system - Map view question, please help...

Please help... When I first got my SL 500 the Navigation system (map option) used to show my cars heading always to the top, moving the map around it while driving. Now it does this only while on route guidance and it does not do it without route guidance while on the map view. I would really appreciate if someone knows how to adjust this. I called Mercedes and they told me that it is not possible, but I drove the car like that for 5 months and all of a sudden the adjustmens have changed and I can not find anywhere how to set it again like that...

I want to drive my car on the map view (without any route guidance or navigtation set) with the arrow heading up. It becomes very confusing when this arrow shows North on the map view... Please help...

Cool

You are probably looking at to great a scale. I think heads-up or course up only works in 1/2 mile or less range
