that keeps the map at the same orientation as your initial bearing to the
waypoint.

In the example above, we're travelling northeast towards waypoint num-
ber 2. In the north-up view, the present position indicator appears to move
towards the upper right corner of the screen. In the track-up view, the
present position moves straight towards the top of the display. A "N"
shows to help you see which direction is north when the track-up mode is
on. Remember, in the track-up mode, the screen rotates as you change
direction. It always keeps your direction of travel (track) heading towards
the top of the screen.

In the course-up mode, the screen is locked
into your original bearing to the recalled way-
point, regardless of your track. (Note: the track-
up and course-up modes do not work when
the unit is zoomed-in on an area covered by a
C-Map or Navionics cartridge.)

To select the desired mode, first press the
MENU key, highlight the “EARTH MAP OP-
TIONS” label, then press the right arrow key.
Now press the up or down arrow keys to move the black box to the “UP
ORIENTATION”, then press the left or right arrow key to make the selec-
tion. Press the EXIT key to erase this menu.
