North up or heading up?

Just curious which most of you guys prefer. I started out with North up but just changed it today to Heading up. I think I like this better but not overly sure.

I only use North Up when I zoom way out to see where I am in the state. Otherwise, always heading up.

+1 for North up when zoomed out, and heading up for zoomed in.

In fact, mine AUTOMATICALLY switches to north-up when zoomed out beyond the 50-mile or so level. But I am always in heading-up otherwise. In a loaner car, this is the first thing I adjust if it's in north-up!

I prefer heading up because of my military days in the Army and land navigating using a map and compass. We always orientated our map in the direction of travel to recognize terrain features and landmarks as check points to our destination.

I tried north up once and got completely confused. Probably because I was so used to heading up by then.
