I keep it north up. I have been using maps (topo, av, naut, etc.) for
over 25 years so I visualize my position and heading over the physical
map. Some people have dificulty with "mental orientation", I do not.

I have been advised that some people when using a sectional always hold it
with North up even when they are flying South rather than orienting it along
their flight path. This is an option on moving map GPS systems.

Do you a) keep North up or b) orient the map in the direction in which you
are flying?
