Map Menu, left, Map Orientation window with

the Track Up map orientation option selected.

By default, many receivers show the map with north always at the top

of the screen. This is the way most maps and charts are printed on pa-

per. This is fine if you're always 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, AirMap defaults to a track-up mode that ro-

tates 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 di-

rection is north .
