Changing The Map Orientation; Selecting Primary Usage; Selecting Track Mode - Magellan Meridian Platinum User Manual

Reference
Changing the Map Orientation — You can change how the map is
orientated on the screen to either North Up, Course Up or Track Up.
Default is North Up.
From
the MAP
Screen
Selecting Primary Usage — The Meridian can be set to either Land or
Marine Usage. When in Land (default), the map displays land areas in white
and water areas as dark gray. For marine applications it may be desirable to
reverse the display, showing water as white and land as dark gray. This will
make reading some of the data information on the water easier.
From
the MAP
Screen
Selecting Track Mode — Allows you to set how often the Meridian stores
track points. Setting the mode to "OFF" stops the Meridian from
saving any new track points. In "Auto" or "Auto Detailed" mode, the
Meridian uses a method for track point storage that maximizes memory.
Using Auto, you will see more points on and near turns and less points
on straight stretches of the map. You also have the option of selecting
fixed intervals for track point storage.
