Map Orientation

Normally, the AirMap shows the map with north always at the top of the
screen. This is the way most maps and charts are printed on paper. This
is fine if you're always travelling due north. What you see to your left cor-
responds to the left side of the map, to your right is shown on the right
side of the map, and so on.
However, if you travel any other direction, the
map doesn't line up with your view of the world.
To correct this problem, the AirMap has a track-
up mode that 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. It also
has a course-up mode that keeps the map at
the same orientation as your initial bearing to
the waypoint.
