Here is what I am attempting to do with the aera 500 unit...
1. set the MAP to NORTH UP mode
2. Set the COMPASS ARC to ON
3. Set the HEADING BUG to ON
This is what I have happening...
1. The COMPASS ARC can only be displayed in TRACK UP MODE
...if the MAP is now changed to NORTH UP, then the COMPASS ARC disappears and can not be displayed again, even if TRACK UP MODE is selected.
2. The MAP must be reinitialized to FACTORY DEFAULT settings to get the compass arc to reappear. This then puts the MAP display in TRACK UP mode.
Has anyone else tried the NORTH UP mode and still have the compass arc and heading bug remain displayed??
Or, do most moving map GPS users elect the TRACK UP mode??
