Map orientation is shown in north up (left) and track up (right).
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. If, however, 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.
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.
