North Up OR Heading UP
I like the north up. Don’t like the spinning of the screen at all.
Surely others will reply with other opinions…

For inshore heading up just makes the most since to me.

In the little boat, big boat, or truck?
In the little boat like traveling the ICW or unfamiliar water I like course up.
In the big boat with no landmarks I like North Up
In the truck I like course up.
What about you?
Heading Up when running
North UP when drifting bottom.
The reason for Heading Up when running…checking against compass…it doesn’t use electricity.
You gots to love the new stuff. I imagine you been running around there for a while. Makes it safer and more efficient…if it’s working.
Noticed one of your trouts had a bite out of it…hungry tuna fusherman???
Thanks for posting. Beautiful trouts.

I run a lot of marsh passes/canals/cuts and I use a map chip in my GPS from Standard Mapping which is an actual aerial photograph of the area I’m running. So, with all those landmarks, I much prefer Heading Up, as it shows me exactly what I’m seeing when I look at where I’m going. When I go snapper fishing and am trying to spot lock on a specific waypoint where I’ve marked some live bottom or bottom structure of some kind, I’ll switch to North Up so my screen doesn’t rotate and I try to position my boat over a specific spot.

I was lucky with that trout in the photo with its tail bitten off by a shark. I lost four more where the sharks took ALL of the fish. I had several on my stringer when I was wade fishing and a shark nearly jerked me down when it grabbed the fish on my stringer. It’s a regular occurrence, but it’s still a bit unsettling when I’m in waist deep water and sharks are eating trout off my stringer.

North up.
You find things offensive.
I find things funny.
That's why I'm happier than you.
