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, 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.
