On the 8-knot GB we run one plotter north up to match the chartbook, the Furuno is split screened with radar on top and steering, course/bearing, course deviation, TTG, speed, waypoint and distance information underneath, and the iPad is heading up. Occasionally in low visibility we'll split the Furuno with radar on top and a heading up chart display on the bottom and match the scales so we can compare the radar returns to the chart (we don't like overlaying them)

On our 30 mph fishing boat which has just one plotter we run it in heading up.

We run the compass magnetic north up.
