I don’t know about the TB20 ;-) … but the Cirrus is definitely moving when it’s in flight :-)
That was really never a problem

I didn’t realise you actually fly Adam? :)
Touche!

Well I’ll fess up to being a north up guy. To know where I’m going I have the pointy end of the ownship, and I recognise where I am faster. And that’s just me, it’s one of those things… My car sat nav is set up the same way.
Track Up is the path to true enlightenment.
I belong to the church of heading up. That way the map matches what I see out of the windscreen / window, even by strong cross-wind.

I have, so far, not come across a display which would me select “heading up” (although I would give it a try). Only north up or track up.
The KMD550 does it. All three.
Heading up is the only way to get Track up if you are not moving.
It needs heading input, either XY 400Hz or ARINC429.
I’m the weird type that likes both track and north up, depending on the situation.
Paper/‘static’ maps/charts/plates: north up. Be it looking at an approach plate or walking through a city, my mental map is north up, so I like my reference material to be the same way.
Maps that show my progress along a pre-defined plan (i.e. with a GPS overlay/georeferenced): those I like to be track up.
I’ve tried using paper VFR charts track up, and the ’what’s on the map matches what you see out the window’ argument just doesn’t work for me. That’s probably because, during the planning stage, your map is north up, so any familiarisation with the area on the map has been in that orientation. And that’s before you get to the text-upside-down problem, which only makes things worse for track up
VFR on SkyDemon I use North Up,
IFR on the MFD I only use Track up.
