    Preference ... North up / Course up

    I am curious what what most anglers preference is for navigating? North up or Course up?

    This ^. Apparently there are some people in the world who never know what map direction they are facing, but map directions are second nature to me, so I always want North up. Whether on a digital map [screen] or paper map, every time I think or talk about going to a certain area of a body of water, my mind’s eye always defaults to a map view.

    If you’re using a heading sensor, it’s set to course up/heading up. I never understood why someone would want north up and their map spinning constantly.

    Always heading up. I know where north is but I want to see what is coming up and like already mentioned, I do not want my map spinning. I would like to hear the perceived advantages of north up though. Maybe I am missing something.

    Heading up. I would need to be zoomed way out to use North up comfortably then I wouldn't be able to see the detail.
