How do others have their displays configured? How does the CG have
their's configured? What's the purpose of N-up vs heading-up?


My wife and I have this same discussion over the chartplotter, and the
car GPS. She favors "Track Up" while I favor "Course Up" for
situation where we're following a constrained course, and "North Up"
when we're in open situations.



I was N up guy for 20 years on the boat. I liked the familiarity of the
look and feel... They I started flying Cirrus aircraft and my instructor
flamed me for flying N up... told him it was a boating thing... he told me
boats don't go 185 Kts and stuff happens too fast for N up on a plane... I
switched and then found the boat to be strange for me with N up so I
switched. I still will switch back to N up when I am going VERY slow
looking for a dive spot. In a boat, whatever you are used to works.
