Rotation

The options for chart rotation are:

North up: North is always at the top of
the chart window.

Track up: The chart is rotated so that the
boat direction is to the top of the window.
This option is useful for navigating narrow
harbours or rivers. The Instrument asks for
a course deviation resolution; this is how
much the boat direction needs to change to
make the chart redraw.

Tip: If the chart redraws too frequently,

increase the course deviation setting.
