By activating the Automatic Map Rotation tool, ArcPad will reorientate the map based on the direction of travel. With the Automatic Map Rotation tool active, ArcPad redraws the map as you move and change your orientation so that the direction of travel is always up. The GPS must be active to use this tool.

Tip
Rotating the map orientation: Use the Map Rotate tool to orientate the map without the use of the GPS receiver. See section ‘ArcPad basics’, for more information.
