CM, thanks for clarifying your method of leveling. using a 4ft level I simply used the tongue jack to level fore and aft, and a floor jack under the trailer axle to level the boat side to side. Using this leveling method and following the instructions step by step, I installed both mine and my brothers and did not have to make any adjustments to either one.

I'll change my settings to see how I like running with my direction of travel to the top. Not sure I will like the map twisting around. Seems pretty simple now to just look where the direction arrow is pointing. But, I will check it out the other way, I might be surprised.

Oh a 4 foot level, handy. Mine was only about 8 inches. LOL

Question on the map rotating comment. Your map should twist more if you have it in North Up, at least in my experience (unless traveling directly North). Cuz it always keeps North at the top of the screen right? Using Course Up it keeps my heading at the top so I dont see my map twisting per se, but the arrow points different directions to show where North is. The reason I like Course Up is what I see on the right of my graph, is to my right in the boat, if I use North up I have to use my brain to figure it out sometimes and that gets difficult. :-)
