GPS Navigation view option

2D mode with heading up for me.

This is what I did when I had a GPS. It took a while to get used to since I like paper maps and the "north up" option seemed the right way to go. The "heading up" option requires a little less thought when translating what your seeing on the GPS to whats coming up. I tend to miss fewer trail crossings that way. The only problem is when you stop, the arrow reorients itself northward causing some confusion if you're lost and trying to figure out where to go next.

3d, top as direction of travel for short range.  For longer trips map, still direction of travel up.  Paper for when I'm lost.

2D w/current direction up.

3D is nice, but in all seriousness, you can't really see your turn options at a glance with the way the screen shows the streets.

I always preferred the 2d track up on the bike.

In the car I like 3-d in the city so I can see on and off ramps better, but 2-d track up when away from the city.
