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.
You, however, can change the map orientation to Track Up or Course
Up if you switch to Advanced Mode.
In Track Up mode, map shows "N" and arrow to indicate north.
Map orientation is shown in north up (left) and track up (right).
The default North Up setting is fine if you are always traveling north.
What you see to your left corresponds to the left side of the map and
what you see to your right is shown on the right side of the map as long
as you keep heading north. If, however, you travel any other direction,
the map doesn't line up with your view of the world.
If you want the map to match up with your view of the world when
traveling in other directions, use Track-up mode, which rotates the map
as you turn. That way, what you see on the left side of the screen will
always be to your left and what you see on the right side of the screen
will always be on your right.
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" shows on the map screen to
help you remember which direction is north.
