Default Set map to direction of travel on top?

The map on my 2014 RX always shows North on top. I'm used to a Garmin GPS, in our other car which always shows direction of travel on top (so the vehicle always looks like it is going forward on the map display). Can the RX navigation map be set to display with direction of travel on top?

While on the map screen, click on the compass direction.

On my 2014 it is on the top left.

Yes. Go into the menu and there's an option to do exactly what you want. The other way is definitely weird.

Wierd? Click on the directional icon at the top left, and the display toggles between North at the top of the screen, or the vehicle icon always pointing up. I think you can have it point down, too, but I'm not sure. I always have mine point up

Pretty simple.
