Topic: Headsup courseup northup setting

LittleGazoo posted this in another topic and I tried to split it out which did not work as intended.

So here is his post in a new topic..chuck

I noticed today when trying to set my Chart Orientation(Northup, Headup, Courseup), I had to select Headup to get Courseup.  And no one doesn't know what Headup means still.

Humminbird got a bug.

LittleGazoo, could you explain this a little more please?

[ITGEEK]

I've never heard of Headup.
Courseup changes the screen too much for my liking.
I personally prefer Northup.

I believe that headup is really a courseup ......

I did some checking around and cannot find a heads up setting in any unit.

I would guess the may be a local name for course up..

LittleGazoo  can you give us the unit type you have this setting selection on?

Humminbird 6.180 is a feature release.  One feature enhancement is to the Main Navigation Tab item Chart Orientation where your options are north-up, head-up or course-up.

North-up   displays your map with a north direction orientation.
Course-up displays your map with a course direction orientation.
Head-up    displays your map with a heading direction orientation.

If you have a waypoint, set a heading to it, then Head-Up will orient map so the waypoint heading is to top.

Very similar to course-up, but a little different.

Wow, thanks for the information.
These units are going quite technical..

I guess next we will have a go home setting..

Right LG.  if you had enough wind or current you may notice a difference between the course and heading that the unit would show towards a waypoint.  Without these the Course Up and Head Up displays would be the same.
