2.2.2 Course-up
The course-up mode is useful for monitoring ship’s progress towards a waypoint.
The destination is at the top of the screen when a destination is set. When no
destination is set, the course or heading is at the top of the screen at the
moment the course-up mode is selected. A filled triangle marks own ship’s
position. The data sentences GGA and VTG must be output from the NavNet
display unit connected to the GPS navigator in order to correctly orient the own
ship marker in the course-up mode on other NavNet display units.

or starboard, the chart display will rotate so that your course is pointing towards
the top of the screen again.
