If Waze doesn't put the lock up north feature back, I'm done with it.

Not sure if this has been posted before but after a bit of research, I found that I was only getting the message when the phone is in landscape mode.
So, when I attach the phone to my dashboard holder, I turn the phone to up/down 'portrait' mode for a couple of seconds, then turn it back to landscape mode (as my phone holder only supports this mode) and the blue message disappears.
This needs to be done each time the app is started.
I have experienced the very same thing .... was going to post about it, but never got around to it. Thank "you" for doing so!!

Agreed. I just downgraded to 4.41 because of the broken North Lock-up issue. Worst update in years.

This is helpful, thank you. But you have to re-do it every time you open the app. You used to be able to set it to default with north locked up. I have no idea why they would have removed that setting, but it's very annoying.

Add me to the list of users who will drop Waze if the LOCK north up option is not returned.

I do understand it is good to show it once so the user can set the correct values but why is it always there even after all that is done? and is there anyway to remove it?
Agreed. Seems like it is broken. It appears for me right over the arrow, so it is annoying. I've already set my vehicle type so it should go away but doesn't. Cant figure out how they missed this big either. It blatantly obvious.

Going to roll back to the the prior version till this is ready for prime time.

"It [North up lock] should be back in the next update."

Do you have any outlook on when that will be? The Tilt-a-Whirl map is really getting on my nerves.

I cannot believe "Lock North-up" was removed from Waze.
Maybe the developers never actually used a map or took a geography class. Having the display spin on every turn is very annoying and distracting.

PLEASE RESTORE "LOCK NORTH-UP" BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT!!
