WARNING!

A CAREFUL NAVIGATOR NEVER RELIES ON ONLY ONE

METHOD TO OBTAIN POSITION INFORMATION.

CAUTION

When showing turn-by-turn navigation data, a GPS unit will show

the shortest, most direct route to the destination. There are times

when it may give directions, such as a U-turn, that may be prohib-

ited in some locations. While navigating, a driver is responsible for

noting all traffic signs and obeying all local traffic laws. When fol-

lowing turn-by-turn directions, a driver must take advantage of all

available navigation tools, and must visually check to make sure a

clear, safe path to the next destination is available.

WARNING!

When a GPS unit is used in a vehicle, the

vehicle operator is solely responsible for

operating the vehicle in a safe manner.

Vehicle operators must maintain full sur-

veillance of all pertinent driving condi-

tions at all times. An accident or collision

resulting in damage to property, personal

injury or death could occur if the operator

of a GPS-equipped vehicle fails to pay full

attention to travel conditions and vehicle

operation while the vehicle is in motion.

Do not attempt to configure, adjust

or enter information into your GPS

unit while driving.

Preface: Introducing GPS

And, how this manual can get you out on the road, fast!

Welcome to the exciting world of turn-by-turn GPS navigation! We know

you're anxious to begin finding your way, but we have a favor to ask. Be-

fore you grab the iWAY^350c and begin installing it, please give us a

moment or two to explain how our manual can help you get the best per-

formance from your mapping GPS receiver and MP3 music player.

Our goal for this book is to get you on the road fast, with a minimum of

fuss. Like you, we'd rather spend more time actually getting some-

where and less time reading about it in the manual!

So, we designed our book so that you don't have to read the whole thing

from front to back for the information you want. At the start (or end) of

each segment, we'll tell you what content is coming up next. If it's a

concept you're already familiar with, we'll show you how and where to

skip ahead for the next important topic. We've also made it easy to look

up any tips you may need from time to time. Here's how:

The manual is organized into five sections. This preface will introduce

you to GPS, your iWAY 350 and the manual’s organization. The first

section will help you install the iWAY in your vehicle. We'll also show

you how to use the USB cable to connect the iWAY to your PC. We'll

finish by describing some of the available accessories.

Section 2 covers Mapping Mode Operation. It will show you how easy it is

to run the iWAY 350, right out of the box. This section features a one-

page GPS Practice Run. (If you've already jumped ahead and fig-

ured out how to install the unit yourself, and you just can't wait

any longer, turn to the Practice Run on page 11 and head for the

road with your GPS unit!)

In Section 3, we leave Mapping mode and introduce you to Music Mode

Operation. We'll tell you everything you need to know about getting music

into your iWAY, arranging the files on your memory card and creating

and using play lists. We'll also explain how you can easily browse music

on your iWAY and listen to your favorite tunes while navigating! If

you're in a hurry to get some music playing, skip to the Music

Practice Run on Page 20 and start copying music to your iWAY!

Section 4 describes the Options Menu, the commands used to configure

things like screen brightness, sound levels and units of measure. We’ll

also show you how to use utilities like the Trip Calculator.

Finally, in Section 5, we’ll go into detail on how to search for and navi-

gate to points of interest, addresses and contacts you’ve created. We’ll

also offer tips on how to understand and follow the automatic turn-by-

turn routes you’ve created. Before we go any further, we'd like to take

just a moment to explain how the iWAY works.

How Lowrance GPS and the GPS System Work

You'll navigate a little easier if you understand the basics of how the

iWAY 350 scans the sky to tell you where you are and where you're

going. (If you already understand GPS receivers and the GPS system,

skip on ahead to Section 1, Installation & Accessories on page 3.)

First, think of your unit as a small, highly automated computer. The

iWAY 350 includes a touch powerful screen with several menus so you can

tell it what to do. The screen also lets the unit show your location on a

moving map, as well as point the way to your destination. A speaker lets

you hear verbal turn-by-turn driving instructions, as well as MP3 music

files.

An internal antenna tunes in to a couple of dozen GPS and WAAS sat-

ellites circling the earth. Your unit listens to signals from as many sat-

ellites as it can "see" above the horizon, then computes its location in

relation to those satellites. The iWAY 350 plots that position on the

moving map shown on the screen.

A hard drive contains highly detailed road and highway mapping data

for Hawaii, the 48 contiguous United States and most of Canada. You

can’t change or erase the map. Another partition of the hard drive is

available for you to store MP3 music files. The iWAY's memory also

records GPS data you create, such as address book contacts.

GPS stands for Global Positioning System, a navigational system that

can accurately locate your position anywhere on the Earth. This tech-

nology is available to everyone, everywhere, 24 hours a day, in all

weather conditions. GPS uses 24 satellites orbiting 10,900 miles above

the Earth to transmit position data back to Earth. A GPS receiver pro-

cesses that data to tell you where you are.

For the system to work, the unit must have a clear view of the satellites

in order to receive their signals. Unlike radio or television signals, GPS

works at very high frequencies. These signals can be easily blocked by

trees, buildings, an automobile roof, even your body.

If you would like to know more about GPS and its companion system

WAAS, visit our web site and check out the GPS Product Guide section

(www.lowrance.com/Support/gps.asp). It includes a GPS tutorial, fre-

quently asked questions and a glossary.

NOTE:

The iWAY is controlled using a pressure-sensitive touch screen. In

this manual, the touch screen "keystrokes" appear as boldface type.

So, if you're in a real hurry when you're looking up instructions (or if

you just need a reminder), you can skim the instructions and pick out

what menu command to use by finding the boldface command text.

Section 1:

Installation & Accessories

This section describes the various accessories and cables that came with

your iWAY, and exactly how to use them. Some of the most important

information in this section is how to connect the iWAY to your car's

power, and how to use the USB-to-PC cable to add songs or picture files

to your MMC or SD Card.

If you need help using any of these accessories, look through this sec-

tion. Otherwise, move on to Section 2: Mapping Mode Operation begin-

ning on page 7. You can also turn to the beginning of Sec. 3 on page 18

if you'd rather start learning about iWAY's Music Mode.

Power Cable

The iWAY operates on internal rechargeable batteries. When the in-

cluded power cable is connected, the iWAY draws power directly from

the power cable and recharges the internal batteries. The power cable

is designed to plug into a car's cigarette lighter. An optional power

adapter for home use is also available.

The iWAY 350 Power cable.

Flash memory will keep your stored data safe and accessible for the life

of the product — after the unit is turned off, no battery or external

power is needed to store your data.

To use the power cable, simply plug the cable's cigarette lighter adapter into

a cigarette lighter receptacle. Then insert the other end of the cable into the

power socket on the back of the unit, as shown in the following image.

Attach power cable to iWAY.

NOTE:

When operating on external power, the iWAY is designed to enter a

Standby mode if the external power source fails. For full details,

see the discussion of power button functions in Sec. 4.

External Power and Standby Mode

The iWAY has an optional Standby Mode (it is on, by default), which

allows the unit to conserve power while still monitoring your current

position. When the iWAY is in Standby Mode, it will activate quickly

when turned on.

If the iWAY is running on external power, and that power source is re-

moved, the iWAY will display a dialog warning you that it is about to

enter Standby Mode. If you want to keep operating the iWAY, you can

simply touch the screen to interrupt this automatic Standby.

However, if the iWAY does enter Standby in this manner, it will auto-

matically restart (or "wake up") as soon as external power is reconnected.

Tip:

These features of Standby Mode can be particularly handy in vehi-

cles where the ignition controls the cigarette lighter. In such vehi-

cles, simply connect the iWAY to external power, and then turning

the car off will automatically place the iWAY in Standby, and

starting the car will restart the iWAY.

External Connections

On the right side of your iWAY 350, you will find 3 sockets for external

connections. These are, from top to bottom, the USB cable connection

(for software updates), the headphone connection (which also works as

a line-out, for vehicles with an auxiliary line input to the stereo sys-

tem), and the power connection (described earlier).

USB-to-PC Cable Connection

The iWAY comes with a special cable designed to allow you to copy files

from your computer to the iWAY's MMC or SD Card. In this way, the

iWAY acts like a card reader. Please read the supplemental document

Making USB Connections Between iWAY 350c and Computers (which

was included with this unit) for details on attaching and using the

USB-to-PC Cable Connection.

MMC or SD Card

On the left side your iWAY, you will find the MMC or SD Card slot, as

shown in the following images. You will need an MMC (or SD) card to

play music or a photo slideshow. The iWAY automatically searches the

memory card for media files it can play.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

To insert an MMC card, hold it so that the label faces forward, and

slide it into the slot, pushing with your fingernail until the card locks

in place. To remove the card, again use your fingernail to push the

card, which will release the catch and eject the card.

The MMC slot can be found on the left side of the iWAY.

Getting Music (or Pictures) on Your iWAY

Of course, to use your iWAY's Music Mode, you'll need some music files

to listen to. The iWAY uses the MMC card to store music (or picture)

files. Whenever you switch to Music Mode or launch the Pictures slide-

show, the iWAY automatically searches the memory card for media

files it can play.

With the memory card inserted in the unit, use the provided USB-to-

PC cable to connect the iWAY to your computer. Once it's connected,

you can treat the memory card just like another removable disk on your

computer. That means you can add new folders, rename folders or files,

and copy and delete files the same way you would on the computer.

Before you copy your music onto the card, consider creating subfolders to

sort your music by artist, album or genre – however you prefer to arrange

your music. The iWAY makes it easy to play a whole folder at a time, so if

you arrange your music well when you're copying it to the card, playing

the right songs when you want to hear them will be a breeze.

Once you have the files you want on your MMC or SD Card, the iWAY

will be ready to play back them whenever you want.

Mounting Brackets

Several mounting brackets are available for your iWAY, through LEI

Extras. There are permanent mounts and temporary mounts suitable

for virtually any boat, aircraft or other vehicle, even motorcycle han-

dlebars. Each of these mounts work without screws or adhesives. To

safely install your GPS unit in your vehicle, you must refer to the in-

struction sheet packed with the mounting bracket.

Other Accessories

The iWAY comes with a soft fabric face cover to protect the screen from

damage when it’s not in use. It simply slips on and off the unit.

The iWAY 350 shown with protective face cover.

A special lint-free, microfiber towel is included for cleaning the unit’s

screen. The towel is highly effective in clearing away smudges and fin-

ger prints. Just wipe the screen with the dry towel — it's not necessary

to moisten the towel with water. If you lose the towel or wear it out,

you can replace it with a similar microfiber cloth. These are often

available where shop towels or auto cleaning towels are sold.

CAUTION:

Do not use any chemical, such as window cleaners, on the iWAY

screen or damage may occur. Cleaning fabrics other than the

microfiber towel type may scratch the screen. Damage caused by

incorrect cleaning is not covered by the warranty. You may wash

the towel if it becomes soiled or loses its effectiveness, but do not

use fabric softener. Fabric softener will ruin the towel’s cleaning

capability.

Moving On: iWAY Operation

Now that you've got the iWAY installed and working, it's time to find

out how it works. The following section jumps right into a description of

Mapping Mode Operation, which will tell you everything you need to

know about the iWAY's moving map and the various settings on the

map display. If you prefer, you can also skip to the beginning of Sec. 3

on page 18 to start learning about iWAY's Music Mode.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Section 2:

Mapping Mode Operation

This section addresses the unit's Mapping Mode operation. Mapping Mode

includes all navigation features, from finding the nearest restaurant to

plotting a road trip across the country. If you would prefer to start out

using the built-in music player, skip ahead to Sec. 3, Music Mode Opera-

tion.

Before you turn on the unit and find where you are, it's a good idea to

learn about the different menus, the two Page screens and how they

work together. BUT, if you just can't wait to get navigating, turn to the

one-page Map Mode Practice Run on page 11.

Power

button

iWAY 350c GPS unit, front view, showing Map Mode and toolbar.

The Power Button

The Power button turns the unit on and off and activates the backlight.

To turn on the unit, press POWER. To turn on the backlight, press POWER

again. The unit has three preset backlight levels to select from. Repeat-

edly pressing POWER will cycle through the backlight settings and turn

off the backlight. To turn off the unit (or enter Standby mode), press and

hold the POWER key for 3 seconds. For complete details concerning

Standby mode, see the discussion of power button functions in Sec. 4.

If you find that your iWAY has locked up or become unresponsive, you can

force a restart by holding down the POWER button for 10-15 seconds.

Using the Touch Screen

As we've already mentioned, you will use the touch screen for most of

the iWAY's controls. You will see on-screen toolbars like the one on the

left side of the previous image, as well as menus and textual lists that

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

allow you to select a single entry.

The iWAY touch screen responds to pressure. With practice, you'll

learn exactly the right amount of pressure to active the touch screen

controls. Buttons are easy; scrollbars can be a little harder.

NOTE:

From time to time, you may notice a slight delay between pressing

an on-screen button and seeing the iWAY respond. This delay is

necessary when the iWAY needs to read information from the hard

drive before continuing. If the iWAY does not immediately respond

to a touch screen command, wait a moment before pressing it

again, as the unit may be processing still.

"Press and Drag"

Some controls, such as the scrollbar or the zoom selection box (which

we'll describe later in this section) require you to press and drag an

item on the touch screen. We'll use that term throughout this manual,

"press and drag," to refer to the motion of selecting an item or location

on screen by pressing on it, then maintaining that pressure while you

drag the item to a new location on the screen.

Closing Menus

Menus and dialogs that appear on your screen will all have an "X" icon

in the top right corner, just like you're used to seeing on your computer

at home. Remember that all menus and dialogs can be closed by press-

ing on this "X."

The Main Menu

When using the iWAY in either Map Mode or Music Mode, press the

MENU button located in the top left corner of the screen to open the Main

Menu. The Main Menu contains commands that let you switch modes,

perform searches, or customize the iWAY’s behavior.

The iWAY Main Menu.

Map and Music

Use the Map and Music buttons to change the iWAY’s mode. Map Mode

shows your current position on a moving map, as well as information

concerning your current route. Music Mode allows you to choose the

audio play list, adjust volume, and set various play controls. The rest of

this section concerns Map Mode operation.

Options Menu

The Options Menu has 3 pages full of settings that control iWAY opera-

tion or provide additional information. The iWAY works great right out

of the box, but as you become more familiar with the unit and what it

can do, you'll eventually want to begin tweaking some of these settings.

To access the Options Menu from the Main Menu, simply choose

OPTIONS and it will appear.

In Sec. 4, we'll describe each of the Options Menu options and commands

in detail. All of these options come with default values right out of the

box, so you may never need to make changes.

Find

The Find Menu has 3 pages of search options, designed to let you find

any destination quickly and easily. See Sec. 5 for details on searching

and following a generated route.

The following page contains an 11-step "Practice Run" that will walk you

through the most basic Mapping Mode operations. If you don't want to

carry the manual with you as you practice with the unit, you might con-

sider photocopying this practice run page and tucking it into your pocket.

Using just the steps outlined here, you can operate your iWAY's Map-

to a destination.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Map Mode Practice Run

Start with the iWAY installed in your car. As you practice, try navigat-

ing to a location at least a few blocks away. You should start out navi-

gating to a destination you're already familiar with. Don't be too sur-

prised if iWAY suggests a different route than you would take. Try the

iWAY's route. Then see the heading "Knowing the Area" in Sec. 5.

1. Connect the unit to your car's power. (See complete installation de-

tails beginning on page 3.)

2. To turn on the unit, press and release the POWER key.

3. The opening screen displays either a music player or a map of North

America. If the Music Mode opens up, press the MENU button and choose

MAP to Map Mode.

4. With your position acquired, press anywhere on the map display to

bring up the Map Cursor and the Map Display Toolbar. Here you can:

Zoom in or Zoom out using the + and – buttons on the Toolbar.

Zoom on an area using the zoom selection box button on the Toolbar.

Scroll map north, south, east or west by pressing on the map display

and dragging the map to show the area you're interested in.

5. Choose your destination. Find an interesting location within a short

driving distance from your house, and press on the screen at that loca-

tion. You'll see the Map Cursor pointing to the position you selected.

6. Press the Location Information button in the top right corner

of the page. It looks like the image at right, and can be used to

open up detailed information for any item selected on the map.

7. The Location Information Screen appears, showing details about the

location you selected, including its distance away from your current

position, and its lat/lon coordinates. Choose GO TO to begin navigating.

The Location Information Screen will disappear, and navigation in-

structions will begin to appear on your screen.

8. Press the CLEAR CURSOR button (the button with a big "X" on it) to close

the toolbar. (If Auto Zoom is on, any changes to the zoom level will reset

when you Clear Cursor.) Then press the Save Location button (a button

with a flag in the top right corner) to mark your starting location. Choose

ADD TO ADDRESS BOOK and then close all windows to return to the map.

9. Follow the iWAY's directions to the selected location. If you're comfort-

able finding your way in the area, try departing from the route the iWAY

provides to see how it recalculates to correct for wrong or missed turns.

10. To navigate back home, follow steps 5-9, using the contact that you

created in step 8 as your destination in step 5.

11. To turn off the unit, press and hold POWER key for three seconds.

The Map Mode Display and On-Screen Commands

The Map Mode screen shows your current position and the path of your cur-

rent route from a "bird's-eye" view. By default, the iWAY shows the map as

a 3d view.

NOTE:

This can be changed if you'd prefer to see the map from a different

perspective. See the topic Using the Map Orientation Button, later

in this section.

To switch to Map Mode from Music Mode, press the MAP button on the

Main Menu. You can do a lot with the Map Mode display. Its basic pur-

pose is to show where you are, and what's around you. The iWAY uses

a black arrowhead icon to indicate where you are, and the arrow is

pointing the direction you're moving.

When you have the Map Mode displaying your current position, the

iWAY will keep this icon in the center of the screen, scrolling the map

as you travel so that you can see your surroundings change. If you pass

under a highway, you'll see the highway on the map approach your cur-

rent position icon, then scroll away behind it even as the highway over-

pass dwindles in your rear-view mirror.

The iWAY uses the Map Mode display to provide you with information

about your surroundings. You can also use it to explore locations other

than your current position. All of the tools you'll need to operate the

Map Mode display are available right on-screen. The Map Mode display

looks something like the screen in the following image.

Map Mode display, with all the on-screen command buttons shown.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

When tracking your current position, the toolbar buttons on the left of

the page are hidden, so that you can see as much of the menu as possi-

ble. You can change what's visible on the map display at any time,

though, simply by touching the screen. When you do, a map cursor will

appear along with a toolbar that contains several map display buttons.

Using the Menu Button

The Menu button appears in the top left corner of the screen. Press this

button to show the menus and submenus, which allow you to toggle

between Map and Music Mode, search for a destination, select a com-

mand or adjust a feature. We'll discuss the Menu in the following

pages, and the Options Menu (accessible from the Menu) in Sec. 4.

Using the Speak Instruction Button

This button appears just below the Menu button. Push this button once

to make the iWAY repeat the current navigation instruction. (If you’re

not navigating, the iWAY will speak a short test message.) Whenever

the iWAY is speaking an instruction, a volume control slider will ap-

pear below the speak button. You can press and drag the control on this

slider to quickly adjust the volume.

For more information on sounds options, see the heading "Sound and

Voice Setup" in Sec. 4.

Using the Map Display Toolbar

The map display toolbar buttons are used with the touch screen to con-

trol what part of the map you see. You can zoom all the way out to see

your position relative to the continental U.S., or zoom in close on an

area hundreds of miles away to see whether you'll be making a left or

right turn at the end of your trip.

The Map Display Toolbar can be made partially transparent, like all of

the buttons and overlay boxes that are drawn covering portions of your

map. You can control the level of transparency, if you want to make these

overlays more readable (by decreasing transparency) or if you want to

make the map beneath more visible (by increasing transparency). For de-

tails on controlling this and other settings, see Sec. 4: Options Menu.

Clear Cursor immediately clears the cursor and toolbar from the

screen and centers the map on your current position.

Move Map or Zoom Box lets you toggle between these two modes:

Move Map Mode lets you drag the map with a touch, focusing on ar-

eas other than your current location. When this button is in Move Map

Mode, press anywhere on the map display and a cursor will appear.

Drag your finger across the screen (still pressing down) and the map

and cursor will move with it.

Zoom Box Mode lets you draw a box on the screen and zoom in on the

map area within the box. When this button is in Zoom Box Mode, press

the screen at the corner of the area you want to select and drag your

finger across the area (still pressing down). You will see a box appear

on the screen. When the box contains all the area you want to see, lift

you finger and the map display will zoom in.

If you're starting at a very wide zoom, Zoom Box can be an extremely help-

ful way of narrowing down your view to exactly the area you're interested

in. Once Zoom Box is activated, you can keep drawing boxes on smaller

and smaller areas until you're focused on just what you want to see.

Zoom In and Zoom Out change the current zoom level in discreet steps,

moving in or out from the cursor's location. Control the zoom to get the

most detail possible while still showing all of the necessary area. Tap

Zoom In once to see a smaller map area in higher detail. Tap Zoom Out

once to see more area, with less detail. You can press and hold either

zoom button to repeatedly zoom until you reach the right level of detail.

You can use these buttons in combination with the Move Map function

to quickly focus on an area other than your current location. Use Zoom

Out to show a large enough map that you can quickly drag it to center

on the area you're interested in. Then use Zoom In (or the Zoom Box) to

fill the map display with only that area.

NOTE:

When activated, the iWAY's Auto Zoom feature controls the map's

zoom level any time the cursor isn't showing. This means that any

adjustments you make to the zoom with the cursor up will be reset

to a calculated level once you hit CLEAR CURSOR. If you would prefer

to manually control the zoom level all the time, turn off the Auto

Zoom feature, as described later in this section.

Using the Map Orientation Button

There are three different ways to view the map. Whenever the cursor is

up, the Map Orientation button can be found in the bottom right corner of

the screen. Touch this button to switch among North Up, Track Up, and

3D.

North Up always shows the map with North at the top of the screen.

Track Up rotates the map so that the direction you're traveling is at the

top of the screen. 3D renders the path ahead from a position above and

behind your current position, so that the display on the map more

closely matches what you'll actually see through your windshield. Prac-

tice some with each mode, and find out which one is right for you.

Using the Location Information Button

There's one more button that appears whenever the cursor is up. The

Location Information button appears in the top right corner of the

screen. You can always use this button to bring up a screen

showing details on the location selected by the map cursor. This

could be a Point of Interest such as a restaurant or gas station, or a con-

tact that you've saved, or simply a map location that you'd like to visit.

As we mentioned, whenever you press the Location Information button,

the Location Information Screen appears. The Location Information

Screen will include as much information as possible about the location

that you've selected. If it's simply a cursor location, this may include

only the lat/lon coordinates and the distance and bearing to the loca-

tion, although a cursor location close to a road will also have the street

address. If it's a Point of Interest the information should include street

address and even the shop's phone number.

and for a restaurant POI (shown right).

From the information screen, you can choose to GO TO the selected loca-

tion, which makes the iWAY generate a route. This is the easiest way

to generate a route to a destination, and we'll use it in the "Map Mode

Practice Run." See the heading "Navigating to a Contact" below for de-

tails. The command FIND ON MAP can be used to center the map on the

selected location.

Creating and Saving Contacts

You can use the Location Information button to access information con-

cerning anything from a Point of Interest to a simple cursor position. If

you've selected a cursor position, a button labeled "Add to Address

Book" will appear on the Location Information Screen. Choose ADD TO

ADDRESS BOOK from the Location Information Screen to save a contact at

the selected location.

NOTE:

You can also create a contact at your current position. If your map

cursor is active, choose CLEAR CURSOR from the Map Display Toolbar,

and the toolbar and cursor will disappear. The Save

Location button replaces the Location Information button.

This new button looks like the one at right. Press it to save

a contact at your current position.

An Edit Contact screen will appear, which includes a textbox contain-

ing the contact's name, address and phone number. You can choose to

leave the address and phone number fields blank, but any information

you add to them will display whenever you open the Location Informa-

tion screen for that contact. There is also a Choose Symbol button and a

small icon showing the contact's current symbol. The contact's lat/lon

coordinates are also listed to the right.

To change the contact's name, address, or phone number, simply touch

anywhere inside the relevant box, and the iWAY's virtual keyboard will

appear, allowing you to enter new information or modify the old.

To change the contact's symbol, select Choose Symbol and a dialog will

appear showing the available symbols. Choose the one that best repre-

sents the selected location then close the dialog by pressing the "X" in

the upper right corner. The new symbol will now appear below the

Choose Symbol button (and on the main map display).

Selecting a Contact

You can select any contact by touching its symbol on the map display.

When you do, the map cursor will appear pointing directly to the con-

tact and the symbol will be outlined with a red halo. The contact's

name will also appear in the pop-up box.

A red halo indicates a selected contact on the map display

Whenever you have a contact selected, you can press the LOCATION

INFORMATION button to access more information about it. A Location In-

formation Screen will appear, which includes detailed information

about the contact as well as buttons to begin navigating to the contact

(Go To), to show it on the map, to edit its name and display informa-

tion, or to delete it from memory.

Editing a Contact

You can edit a contact's name, address, phone number or symbol by

selecting it on the map and pushing the LOCATION INFORMATION button.

Choose EDIT from the Location Information Screen.

The Edit Contact screen described earlier under "Creating and Saving

Contacts" appears. Make changes precisely as described before.

Deleting a Contact

You can remove a contact from the iWAY by selecting it on the map

and pushing the LOCATION INFORMATION button. Choose DELETE from the

Location Information Screen, and the contact will disappear.

Navigating to a Contact

The easiest way to navigate to a saved contact is to treat it like any

other cursor position on the map. Use the zoom and Move Map buttons

to get the contact on screen, then touch the contact to select it with

your cursor.

Press the LOCATION INFORMATION button to bring up the Location Informa-

tion Screen. Choose GO TO and the iWAY will immediately begin gener-

ating a route to the selected contact.

If you have several contacts stored on your iWAY, or don't want to take

the time to pan over to one, you can also use the Address Book command

from the Find Menu. This method allows you to sort through all of the

contacts on the unit either by name or by nearest to your current location.

For more details on using the Find Menu, see Sec. 5 beginning on page 49.

Section 3:

Music Mode Operation

This section addresses the unit's Music Mode operation. Music Mode is

designed as a powerful but simple interface for playing back your music

collection while navigating. If you'd rather skip ahead, you can look at

Sec. 4 which starts on page 26 and is full of details on setting up and

customizing the iWAY's various options. Or you could turn to Sec. 5

starting on page 49, where you'll learn about Searching and how the

iWAY generates Turn-by-Turn routes.

Before you start playing your music, it's a good idea to learn about the

different menus, the two Page screens and how they work together. If

you've already read Sec. 2, then you already know what you need to

about the controls, so you can skip ahead to the one-page Music Mode

Practice Run on page 20.
