The 'N True' mode sets the chart orientation with a fixed north direction. In this mode, the chart does not rotate when the vessel's course changes. This is useful for maintaining a consistent view of the navigational environment relative to the north direction, facilitating route planning and situational analysis.
In the True motion mode, the chart will shift when the ship come near to adjusted edge (programmed).

The 'N Relative' mode sets the chart orientation with a fixed north direction.
This feature allows displaying the chart based on the vessel's relative position. In 'N Relative' mode, the chart centers around the vessel's current position, providing a real-time visual representation of the maritime situation.
In the Relative motion mode, the chart will shift together the ship.
