For the life of me I do not understand why anyone would want to run a
moving map in landscape. *I don't care what is to the side of me - I
want to see what is in FRONT of me!

Paolo, north up makes even less sense most of the time!

To me (and I used to navigate planes for a living so I'm a bit biased)
the only orientation that really makes sense is Heading up -
especially if there is a lot of crosswind. I want the map to mirror
what is outside the cockpit, and with track up and a crosswind, it's
possible for a feature in the distance (mountain, for example) to be
on one side of the map centerline, but on the other side of the
canopy, due to the glider's crab angle.

For this to be useful, of course, you need a good indication of the
actual ground track, so you can adjust your heading accordingly.

This, naturally, is how I have SYM configured in my glider.

Keep up the good work on LK8000 - It's starting to look real
interesting.

Cheers,

Kirk
