If you are asking how to make the map rotate, the short answer is press the touch screen on top of the compas heading arrow in the upper left of your NAV screen. Basically the NAV system has two modes, the first is "North Up" which is like looking at a map and your position moves around, but North is ALWAYS up. The second mode is "Track Up" which mean that you position is always in the center of the map going upward, you ALWAYS point up and the map rotates to keep this orientation. This second mode is useful in areas you are unfamilier with because the map conforms to what you are seeing out of your windshield. Personally I prefer the first mode (North Up) because it keeps me orented in space, I always know which directin I am headed in. I hope this answers your question and was helpful.
