Track Up Mode
Normally, the GlobalMap Sport™ shows the map with north always at the
top of the screen. This is the way most maps and charts are printed on
paper. This is fine if you’re always travelling due north. What you see to
your left corresponds to the left side of the map, to your right is shown on
the right side of the map, and so on.
However, if you travel any other direction, the map doesn’t line up with
your view of the world.
To correct this problem, the GlobalMap Sport™ has a track-up mode that
rotates the map as you turn. Thus, what you see on the left side of the
screen should be to your left, and so on.
COURSE-UP
NORTH-UP
In the above example, we're travelling southwest on Interstate 44. In the
north-up view, the present position indicator appears to move towards the
lower left corner of the display. In the track-up view, the present position
moves towards the top of the display. A "N" shows to help you see which
direction is north when the track-up mode is on.
(Note: the track-up mode does not work when the unit is zoomed-in on a
C-Map cartridge.)
To select the track-up mode, press the up or down arrow keys to move the
black box to the “Track Up Mode”, then press the right arrow key to turn it
on. Press the EXIT key to return to the mapping screen.
Detail Cartridge
The GlobalMap Sport™ can use either Lowrance Inland Mapping Sys-
tem cartridges or Lowrance C-Map cartridges. You can have one of each
in the unit at the same time, however you can only use one or the other.
