The viewer uses the engine's projection, not the console's

It was drawing the map mirrored. The X flip came from the setup console's
picture of Brewer's Bane, which is an illustration and not a screenshot -
the game does not draw it that way round.

What the game does: L4GaugeImagePrimitive::Draw plots
MoveToAbsolute(dest->x, dest->z), so the screen axes are view-space X and
Z, and the graphics view's origin is bottom left with Y increasing upward
- BackgroundLine draws endpoints.bottomLeft to endpoints.topRight, and
the port's zero-degree blit is documented with the origin in the bottom
left corner. So +X runs right and +Z runs up.

Also added the heading the real display has. NavDisplay centres on the
vehicle and turns with it, inverting the viewer's transform and taking
yaw only unless rockAndRoll is set; the viewer defaults to heading 0,
which is the north-up case, and Q/E/R turn it. Panning and dragging now
work in what you see rather than in world axes, so up stays up when the
map is turned.

TRACKS.html is left following the console pictures on purpose: nine of
those cards are the console pictures, so the reconstructed nine have to
sit beside them consistently. The two disagree by a mirror and each is
right for what it is, which both READMEs now say.
