North Up North is at the top of the screen.
Course Up The heading of the active leg of the active route is at the
top of the screen. If no route is active, North Up
orientation is used until a route is activated.

the top of the screen.
Selecting Primary Usage — The SporTrak can be set to either Land or
Marine Usage. When in Land (default), the map displays land areas in
white and water areas as dark gray. For marine applications it may be
desirable to reverse the display, showing water as white and land as dark
gray. This will make reading some of the data information on the water
easier.

Selecting Track Mode — Allows you to set how often the SporTrak stores
track points. Setting the mode to “OFF” stops the SporTrak from saving
any new track points. In “Auto” or “Auto Detailed” mode, the SporTrak
uses a method for track point storage that maximizes memory. Using
Auto, you will see more points on and near turns and less points on
straight stretches of the map. You also have the option of selecting fixed
intervals for track point storage.
