Names in the map are turning when I turn the map. Is there a setting to just turn the map but not the street names?

If I have "map turn to direction of movement" is on all names on the map are also turning.
That means often I can't read them anymore because they are up side down. Is it possible to have just the map to be turned but not the names on the map?

P.S. I like the new style of the button very much. Bigger buttons are better.

Hi,
unfortunately this is not possible. Never for online maps or downloaded online maps because they are static images and text is part of image. There is small chance that one day in future will vector maps support turning names but I can not promise it.

Hmm, small chance only?
I'm really a fan of Locus implemenation of vector maps (yes, I know originally it's from mapsforge project) and for me the impossible change of text orientation is the most important drawback in Locus vector maps.
Would really appreciate if you could give this feature a higher priority because this is actually a standard feature for vector maps.

Hi,
first of all i would like to say "WHAT A GREAT APP"!!!!!
The only thing i am missing in Locus is the not readable Names when the Map turns around. I would also really appreciate if you give this feature a high priority as Tommi already Mentioned! Thx, and sorra for my bad english.
