Default North-Up versus Direction-Up?

North-up's the only way to go. I tried heading-up the other day on my
SN-10 as I was going south..................took me the better part of
5 minutes to identify things. Switched back to north up and everything
fell right in place. Guess it comes from 2000 hours in the baker five
two where the scope was oriented north-up. Strip maps are OK till you
get wayyyy off course, ever try attacking a target from the north on a
east facing strip map? Yep, your flying in from the left side of the
map............screws my head right off.
