Map Orientation

By default, this receiver shows the map with north always at the top of

the screen. This is the way most maps and charts are printed on paper.

Map orientation shown in north up (left) and track up (right).

This is fine if you're always traveling due north. What you see to your

left corresponds to the left side of the map, to your right is shown on

the right side of the map, and so on. If, however, you travel any other

direction, the map doesn't line up with your view of the world.
To correct this problem, a track-up mode rotates the map as you turn.

Thus, what you see on the left side of the screen should always be to

your left, and so on.
Another option is course-up mode, which keeps the map at the same

orientation as the initial bearing to the waypoint. When either the

track-up or course-up mode is on, a "N" is displayed on the map screen

to show you which direction is north.

In Track Up mode, map shows "N" and arrow to indicate north.
