Eagle Electronics 502C manual NauticPath USA Marine Charts

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.

To change map orientation: from the Map Page, press MENU↓ to MAP ORIENTATIONENT. Use ↑ or ↓ to select the desired mode, then press ENT. Press EXITEXIT to return to the page display.

NOTE:

In North Up and Course Up, the present position arrow appears in the center of the map page. In Track Up, the position arrow appears centered in the lower third of the page.
