Yes when you set the unit up, make sure you set the map orientation to "track up". This will allow when you are following channels they will be moving up down the screen. So in other words, what ever direction you are moving it will always be the direction the unit is pointed. If you didnt and you are running east/west you only see very little of lake and what might be coming at you. I find this helps when you using it to run a channel full of trees on each side. This tip doesnt apply to the 76 this works on pretty much all gps.
