There are split opinions on this. A majority of the cross country pilots I have asked prefer north up, as do I. In north up I can relate what I see on the moving map to what I saw on the paper chart when I was planning the flight and to what I see on it if I need to consult it in flight.

A rotating moving map is no use to anyone - but most systems offer an intermediate option of track up in the cruise, north up when circling.


I totally agree! If you are going anywhere beyond your home field North up allows you to relate to the real world and every normal map. How could anyone use track up? It would make you dizzy thermalling.


I use North up circling and track up flying, except in wave flying I use North up.
