I had never considered having my GPS any other way until my manager who was visiting from out of town said he thought I was mad. I've given it some thought since then. If I'm traveling through some place for the first time, current-direction-up makes some sense. Especially at night or when it is hazy. I just depend on the directions being correct, and zoom back out to make sure I'm going the right direction. If I'm travelling in some city like Phoenix which is laid out on a grid, north-up makes sense any time of day. Generally I have a reference in mind: "destination is north and east of me, this side of the river, and this side of the interstate -- don't cross those".
