What direction do you have your Nav arrow pointing?

I've tried both. Used to fly and always liked the way you could relate due north from the magnetic compass relative to your true heading. It's the most natural way for me in the car, the direction the car is heading.

I like the map to rotate, because I am driving straight up and I want to see myself driving straight up on the map on the NAV.
I don't care where North is. I want to know to make a LEFT on A Street, and a RIGHT on B Street, etc.

I like it pointing up. I can't put myself in the situation where I have to take away from concentrating on driving to remind myself how left and right on the nav screen relate to what I'm looking at.

I like to have the map always face the direction of the car, because that's more intuitive to me. But my friends who always have the map face north argue that it's better in terms of actually learning the streets and the overall layout of the area, and I'm inclined to agree with them there.
