Which statement correctly describes Course-up orientation?

• A. North-up rotates with the ship's heading.
• B. Course-up rotates with the ship's course.
• C. Heading-up rotates with the ship's course.
• D. Course-up shows north at the top.

Answer: (B)

Course-up orientation keeps the display aligned with your actual path over the ground. The top of the screen points in the direction of your current course, so as your course changes—due to steering, wind, or currents—the image rotates accordingly. This differs from heading-up, where the top would rotate with the direction the bow is pointing, not necessarily your track over ground. It also differs from North-up, which keeps true north fixed at the top and does not rotate with your course. Therefore, the idea that course-up rotates with the ship's course accurately describes how this mode behaves.
