How do you change the orientation of the Apple Map with ease?

On apple Maps one can change the orientation by pressing the pointy arrow up the top right, twice. But it keeps going back to the original orientation. How can I fixate this so I dont have to keep pressing every couple of minutes while driving?

Hey Tiggynim,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It isn't clear what you're wanting to do with the orientation of the Maps app while using it to navigate to your destination. Let us know a bit more to help:


  • Since menu options can vary, which software version shows in Settings > General > About?
  • Are you connecting to your car via Bluetooth or CarPlay? If CarPlay, is it the map on your car display you're asking about or your iPhone itself?


In the meantime, we thought these guides could help:


View maps on iPhone - Apple Support

Find your Maps settings on iPhone - Apple Support

Rotate the screen on your iPhone or iPod touch - Apple Support


Keep us posted.


Take care!

Thanks Tammy

So its not connected on carplay, but on my phone. the problem is that the orientation keeps flipping back when it adjusts the length of the trip so that every few minutes I have to press the triangle icon at the top right twice to get thw orientation back to where I want it to be. This is distracting me from driving. I would like to have the orientation not change once I have set it. I like to watch the blue dot (me on the road) go in the direction I go and enlanrged so that I can clearly see where to turn etc. But it keeps zooming out and turning up side down when it adjusts the time left driving. Can the orientation and zooming in just be fixated and not automatically keep changing
