Head Up
The vessel’s current heading points up, and the chart rotates around the vessel icon so
that it always points up on the view. The heading is provided by the connected
compass/heading sensor. If a compass is not connected, the heading will be calculated
using the GPS receiver’s COG (Course Over Ground).
North Up
(compass required)
True north is shown at the top of the display and the vessel rotates on the screen to
point towards the current heading.
Course Up
During navigation, the projected course is shown at the top of the view. Objects ahead
of the vessel are drawn above the vessel. When the vessel is not navigating, the course-
up reference is provided by a one-time COG (Course Over Ground) calculation.
