real pilots fly north up.
it's a left brain/right brian thing.
your heading is a variable, north is a constant, so why try to orientate
to a variable?
go on then, bring out your feminine side, fly course/track up!

I strongly disagree with the "real pilot" comment and mescaline/feminine
argument.

Back in the years when I flew A-3 Skywarriors and A-6 Intruders we prepared
strip charts for our low level flights. These charts were "accordion
folded" and orientated "course up." Using this format minimized the size of
the charts. It also aided in correlating items on the chart with what you
see out of the canopy or on the radar. I believe these same advantages
apply to the small PDA display.

I have never considered setting my PDA/GPS for anything except track/task
up.
