In certain embodiments, the user interface 100 presents the current orientation mode in a user interface control such as a drop-down list 116. A user can change the orientation mode by selecting the drop-down list 116 and choosing another orientation mode from the list. In the example of Figure 1A, the user interface 100 presents map data using a north up orientation mode. "North up" refers to an orientation mode for a navigational system, method, process, module, and/or apparatus in which a user interface displays navigational data such as icon, an image, a map, and/or map features within the user interface such that the top of the user interface aligns with a north compass direction (e.g., a cardinal direction) in relation to the navigational data. Figure 1A indicates the north up orientation mode by presenting the icons on the user interface 100 in positions and orientations according to a top of the user interface 100 point in the north compass direction. The user interface 100 may also indicate the north up orientation mode by how a north direction icon 106l is oriented; the north direction icon 106l points towards the top of the map data pane 102.
