I use both...I use arc for takeoff and landing, map mode the rest of the time. Occasionally I'll flop over to rose if I need the bearing pointers for something, but otherwise I hardly find myself using it.

I've played with the Arc mode, but never really got into it. I've just stuck with the standard HSI display.
On the TBM700/850's with the EHSI, I did like the mode to put the on-board radar over it, and use the MFD to display the nexrad all at the same time. For a smaller display, it wasn't too bad at all.

Ok now that we have established that track up is the only correct thing to do with your map display and North up is wrongful, perhaps an unintended error or something... I vote full compass rose for the HSI, because it lets you see the reciprocal of the heading you are on. Very handy for procedure turns, patterns, and so forth. Also, some HSIs have rose-only presentation because they use the rose area to display a small moving map (Sandels).
USMC- what is better about PARs using an arc display? Wider degree marks?

Just to show you that I am learning something - here is today's trivia for you Cub. The PAR is checked to drop you off at the threshold within ____' of centerline. The ASR is checked to drop you off within ______' of the edges of the runway.Care to venture a guess? Answers tomorrow (if I remember)

Exactly. Something about the other person feeling the need to bug headings during the apporach. Funny - I never had that for my 356,875 other PARs all by my lonesome Just to show you that I am learning something - here is today's trivia for you Cub. The PAR is checked to drop you off at the threshold within ____' of centerline. The ASR is checked to drop you off within ______' of the edges of the runway.

Cub - close (well not really) - but no cigar
The answer is:
A PAR should deliver you to within 30' of centerline at threshold.
An ASR should deliver you to within 500' from the edge of the runway at threshold.
If you need to get in and have an option of the two - GO WITH THE PAR

73M - I'm disappointed that you didn't take another shot at it!

On one ASR, after looking at my round gauges, I just chuckled the numbers back to approach when he gave me "fly heading 317 and maintain 354 feet".
