I teach track up. I would have you rotate your paper charts so they
show track up. I think its much less confusing.

funny how this topic keeps coming back; it seems that it depends
on how your brain is wired and that is not much you can do change
someone's mind about that; for me, north up is much less confusing
than having to twist the chart around, even if the chart does the
twisting for me (and change the orientation of the labels) as would
a GPS moving map display do because I do the twisting in
my head anyway, looking at a chart / display with track up forces
me to do a 'double twisting' of sort if you see what I mean :-)
Reminds me of endless hours of fun (i.e., arguments) while driving
around the country with an *ex* girlfriend of mine... :-)
