Changing the Map Orientation

The default orientation for the Map screen is North Up. This means that the top of the
display represents true north. This orientation can be changed so that the top of the display
is more useful to you. You can choose from:
• North Up [default]. This orientates the top of the map display to represent true north.
• Course Up. In course up, the top of the map displays the direction to your destination.
(When there is not an active route, the top of the display indicates true north.)
• Track Up. In track up, the top of the map display
changes to reflect your heading. (If you are not
moving, the top of the display indicates true north.)
Note: In Course Up and Track Up, a north indicator is
displayed in the upper right corner of the display. This
arrow points in the direction of true north.
