From Greg on another forum...
HB 6.180 is a feature release. One feature enhancement is to the Main Navigation Tab item Chart Orientation where your options are north-up, head-up or course-up.
North-up displays your map with a north direction orientation.
Course-up displays your map with a course direction orientation.
Head-up displays your map with a heading direction orientation.
If you have a waypoint, set a heading to it, then Head-Up will orient map so the waypoint heading is to top.
Very similar to course-up, but a little different.

In Humminbird units we use either North-Up, Heading-Up or Course-Up menu settings. I’m not sure if that was not the original intended question or not but thought that I would toss it into the conversation anyways.
North-Up: I think everyone understands that the top of the display will always be North (whether Magnetic North or True North will depend on the North Reference menu setting).
Heading-Up: The top of the display will be the direction that the boat is pointing. Due to wind and waves, the boat may be traveling in a slightly different direction than it is heading, and therefore Heading is often confused with Course Over Ground (COG).
Course-Up: The top of the display will be the current direction that the boat is traveling. This may differ from the actual heading of the boat.

Track up. I want to know where I'm going not where I've been. Besides that I find it much easier to zero in on a waypoint.

Yes, I believe that is also another name for it.
