Upside Down Under

Hello

As a beginner with spectacles, I find the whole process of taking glasses on and off a real pain, especially with finders and ep changes. Star charts bug me as well, but perhaps I have it all wrong. My question is: Are there any charts out there for the southern Hemisphere which are either printed upside down or have the labels,names printed upside down. I realise that charts need to be correct in terms of orientation, RA and Dec etc but I still find it difficult to orient myself with a chart and then have to alter everything in order to read the labels (which are often tiny). I was recently given a new atlas for a present (Atlas of the Southern Skies) and loved it's very clear constellation maps but they all seemed arse about to me when I look at the sky. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks
Ian
