Orientation: Sets the perspective of the map.
Vessel Orientation: Sets the alignment of the vessel icon on the map. The Auto option aligns the vessel icon
using GPS COG at high speeds and the magnetic heading at low speeds to better align the vessel icon with

(COG) option aligns the vessel icon using GPS COG. If the selected data source is not available, the available
data source is used instead.
