Brief description of the issue:
The map on the Flight Design CTSL’s avionics can be switched between “HDG up”, “DTK up”, and “North up”. HDG up works as expected, but “DTK up” and “North up” and reversed: selecting “North Up” shows the map relative to your track, and selecting “DTK up” shows the map relative to true north.

Provide Screenshot(s)/video(s) of the issue encountered:

While heading roughly west and a little north:

  • Select the menu button while showing the map
  • Fiddle around with the orientation options

PC specs and/or peripheral set up of relevant:

  • Windows 11 (release)
  • Ryzen 3700X

  • RTX 2070 Super

Build Version # when you first started experiencing this issue:

Noticed in 1.20.6.0

Bug still present in 1.31.22.0

Unless I’m misunderstanding the user interface and the label on the button is for what it’s going to change to not what is selected?

Aera 500 series manual has no screenshot but seems to describe a slightly different user interface with left/right selector buttons [https://static.garmin.com/pumac/190-01117-02_0C_web.pdf]:

As does the Aera 660 manual, which is even vaguer [https://static.garmin.com/pumac/190-02017-20_h.pdf]:

Note neither version describes a “HDG up” selection either; they say “Track up”. What version of the Aera interface is this supposed to be representing?

Thanks to all who participated in this report. Please note “Bug Logged” status which means Dev Team was able to reproduce.
