Broke out the Garmin 430/530W simulator tonight to refresh on a few of the more arcane topics in preparation for a lesson tomorrow (my client asks a lot of in-depth questions and I like to be prepared).
I know most people use either "Map Up" or "Track Up". But tonight I "found" a third option on the 430/530(W) series that I'd either forgotten about or never tried - Desired Track (DTK) Up.
Does anybody use this? I tested it on the simulator and it seemed like it might have some useful aspects but I'm not clear on what they might be. However, the instant change in map orientation at a course change was somewhat distracting. Anybody have any experience or even prefer this presentation?
