The Map Orientation menu with the North Up option selected.
As we said, the default for this receiver is North Up – the unit shows
the map with north always at the top of the screen. This is the way
most maps and charts are printed on paper, which is fine if you're al-
ways traveling due north. What you see to your left corresponds 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, a track-up mode 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.
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, an "N" shows on the map screen to
help you see which direction is north.
