The iWAY Main Menu.

Map and Music Use the Map and Music buttons to change the iWAYs 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 with settings that control iWAY operation 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 will eventually want to begin customizing some of these settings. The Options Menu is accessible from the Main Menu, just select OPTIONS. Section 4 describes each of the Options Menu features 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 contains three pages of search options, designed to let you find any destination quickly and easily. See Section 5 for details on searching and following a generated route. The following page contains a 10-step "Practice Run" that will walk you through the most basic Mapping Mode operations. If you do not want to carry the manual with you as you operate the unit you might consider photocopying this practice run page and placing it where it is easily accessible. Using just the steps outlined here you can operate your iWAY's Mapping Mode well enough to find your current location and find your way to a destination. 11

Map Mode Practice Run

Start with the iWAY installed in your car. You should start out navigating to a destination you are already familiar with. Don't be too surprised if the iWAY suggests a different route than you would take. Try the iWAY's route. Then see "Knowing the Area" in Section 5. 1. Connect the unit to your car's power. 2. Press the POWER key. 3. 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 are interested in. 4. Choose your destination. Find an interesting location within a short driving distance from your house and press on the screen at that location. You will see the Map Cursor pointing to the position you selected. 5. 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. 6. 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 instructions will begin to appear on your screen. 7. 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. 8. Follow the iWAY's directions to the selected location. If you are comfortable 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. 9. To navigate back home follow steps 5-9 using the contact that you created in step 8 as your destination in step 5. 10. To turn the unit off press and hold POWER key for three seconds. 12

est such as a restaurant, gas station, a contact that you have saved or a map location that you would like to visit. The Location Information Screen will include as much information as possible about the location that you have selected. If it's a cursor location, this may include only the lat/lon coordinates and the distance and bearing to the location, 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.
The Location Information Screen for a saved contact (shown left) and for a restaurant POI (shown right).
From the information screen you can choose to GO TO a selected location, making the iWAY generate a route. This is the easiest way to generate a route to a destination. See the heading "Navigating to a Contact" below for details. 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 concerning anything from a Point of Interest to a simple cursor position. If you have selected a cursor position a button labeled "Add to Address Book" will appear on the Location Information Screen. Select 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 with a textbox containing 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 Information screen for that contact. You also can edit the latitude and longitude information in the Edit Contact screen by pressing on the latitude or longitude text box. There is also a Choose Symbol button and a small icon showing the contact's current symbol. The contact's lat/lon coordinates are listed to the right. To change the contact's name, address or phone number, 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 represents the selected location then close the dialog by pressing X in the upper right corner. The new symbol will now appear below the Choose Symbol button and on the main map display. 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 contact and the symbol will be outlined with a red halo. The contact's name will also appear in the pop-up box.

Visualization Effects Waveform/Spectrum Analyzer
The Visualization Area takes up the center of the Music Mode display and provides either a Waveform Analyzer or Spectrum Analyzer effect in time with the music that's playing. To switch between the available visualization effects press the screen inside the Visualization Area. 23

Music Browser

The iWAY can play both MP3 and Ogg Vorbis music files. It can also recognize m3u-style play list files. Touch the Now Playing area of the Music Mode screen to launch the Browse Music Files screen. The music browser is a screen showing the file structure of your music drive, including all of the songs and play lists available as well as any subfolders. If you have sorted your music by album or artist you can select the folder you wish and play only the songs in that folder or you can choose a particular song to play right away.
Use the Browse Music Files screen to choose which songs to play next.
From the music browser you can choose individual songs, play list files or subfolders. Choose PLAY ALL to play all of the music files in the selected folder and its subfolders.

Find Music

The FIND MUSIC button in the top right corner of the screen launches an Audio Search menu. To find a particular audio file by its filename press FIND MUSIC and then touch anywhere inside the Name Filter box to open the iWAY's Virtual Keyboard. Enter all or part of a song's filename and press DONE. The Audio Search menu will provide a list of all of the audio files on your MMC card that match the text in the Name Filter field. Choose the one you want from the list and choose PLAY to begin playing it or BROWSE to open the music browser at the file's location.

Shuffle (On/Off)

When Shuffle is turned on, at the end of a song iWAY will randomly choose another song from the current play list to play next. When Shuffle is turned off it will proceed to the next song in the play list or, if you are playing all the songs in a folder, it will proceed to the next song alphabetically by file name. 24
Use the SHUFFLE button to toggle the option on or off. The button is yellow when the option is turned on and white when the option is turned off.

Repeat (On/Off)

When Repeat is turned on, at the end of a play list or song if you are playing one song the unit will immediately start playing the play list again from the beginning. When Repeat is turned off it will stop playing music and wait for you to select a new song or play list. Press the REPEAT button to turn the option on or off. The button is yellow when the option is turned on and white when the option is turned off.

The following pages describe each of the Options Menus. All of these options come with default values so you can use the iWAY right out of the box. That way you may never need to make changes. You might want to skip on to Section 5 to learn more about searching for destinations and generating routes. Remember, all menus and dialogs can be closed by selecting X in the upper right corner of the screen. Directions List The Directions list is generated whenever the unit begins navigating to a destination. It is a list of all the turns from the start of your route to the end, including an arrowhead icon indicating the direction of each turn. It looks something like the screen in the following image.
The Directions list for a generated route.
You can look up and down the list by pressing and dragging the blue slider bar to the right. You can select any individual instruction on-screen for more detailed information. This screen is called a Turn Preview. If Turn Preview is on, the Directions list will be displayed automatically when the GPS is lost. This could occur when driving through a tunnel or in a parking garage. Trip Calculator The Trip Calculator keeps track of detailed information concerning your route. You can use it to find the distance of your daily commute or to calculate your average speed on a cross-country road trip. Auto Zoom (On/Off) The iWAY has an Auto Zoom feature which will display greater map detail as you navigate a route. While the map shifts to track your current position the Auto Zoom will zoom the map in and out based on your speed and the distance to your next turn. 29
When active the Auto Zoom takes control any time the map cursor is not showing. When the map cursor is up you can use the Zoom In and Zoom Out buttons to control the zoom level. When the map cursor is cleared from the screen Auto Zoom will automatically recalculate the zoom level. If you prefer to manually control the zoom level you can toggle the Auto Zoom feature on or off when the cursor is not showing by touching the range display feature located at the bottom left corner of the map screen. Overlay Data Setup Overlay Data are the text boxes that appear over your map display containing information such as the distance to your destination and the instructions for your next turn. You can choose which information you want to display as Overlay Data and its location on the screen. To do this, from the Options Menu choose OVERLAY DATA SETUP. The first screen that appears is the Overlay Data Shown screen showing your current setup. You can select any item in the list to change its font size or location.

Periodic Voice instructions are repeated at set intervals and are intended as reminders. Use this slider to adjust the frequency of Periodic Voice instructions until your iWAY is giving you exactly as much information as you need. To set Voice Volume: Press and drag the blue button on the VOICE VOLUME slider. Drag it to the right to increase the output volume or to the left to decrease it. Note that this setting only affects spoken instructions; your music volume will remain unchanged.
To set Music Volume: Press and drag the blue button on the MUSIC VOLUME slider. Drag it to the right to increase the output volume or to the left to decrease it. Note that this setting only affects music playback; spoken instructions will remain unchanged.
the left to decrease it. This setting affects all audio output from the iWAY. Interface Options The Interface Options Menu allows you to control the visual display of your iWAY, such as brightness, contrast and the graphical skin. You can also use Interface Options to access the Calibrate Screen command in case your iWAY's touch screen isn't responding precisely. To access the Interface Options Menu, from the Options Menu select INTERFACE SETUP. The following menu will appear.
To set Master Volume: Press and drag the blue button on the MASTER VOLUME slider. Drag it to the right to increase the output volume or to
The Interface Options Menu. Interface Selection
Interface Selection allows you to change the visual appearance of the iWAY. Several skin options are available in the iWAY. To change your current skin display touch inside the INTERFACE SELECTION box and a drop39
down list will appear showing all of the available skins. Choose one from the list and the iWAY will display the new skin automatically. Screenshots throughout this manual were taken using the "Default" skin mode. Other skin options will be available on the Lowrance web site in the future.

Keyboard

Keyboard allows you to choose the layout of the buttons on the iWAY's virtual keyboard. Use this option to choose the layout you are most familiar with so you can enter text information quickly and easily.

Brightness

The Brightness Slider controls the brightness of the screen. High levels of brightness could make the iWAY difficult to read, especially during night use. Low levels can make the screen seem too dark for easy viewing. Use the slider bar to adjust your screen's brightness to your preference. To increase your screen's brightness, press and drag the button on the slider bar to the right. To decrease screen brightness press and drag the button to the left.

Transparency

The Transparency Slider controls the transparency of information and navigation boxes that appear on the map page. Increasing transparency will make it easier to see the background map, but may interfere with the legibility of the Overlays. Decreasing transparency clarifies Overlays but it also obscures underlying map information. To increase transparency, press and drag the button on the slider bar to the right. To decrease it, press and drag the button to the left.

Calibrate Screen

The Calibrate Screen command is used to correct any differences between the location you press on the touch screen and the location the iWAY thinks you pressed. If you find that the iWAY isn't responding perfectly to your touch screen input run the calibrate screen command. Select the INTERFACE SETUP command (Options, Page 2) which will bring up the Interface Options menu. In the Interface Options menu select the CALIBRATE SCREEN button. The Touch Screen Calibration menu will appear, as shown in the following image, with a small target icon somewhere on the screen. A test message asks you to press the center of the target. When you do a new target will appear elsewhere on the screen.
The Touch Screen Calibration menu.
Press each of the targets in turn. After the third the screen should be calibrated. The calibration screen will disappear, returning you to the Interface Options menu. You may want to use a stylus for more accurate calibration or even the plunger of a ballpoint pen if you do, take extra care not to scratch the touch screen.
Standby Mode vs. Power Off Mode
The power button turns the unit off and on in two different ways. When the unit is on, holding the power button down for about two seconds will put the unit in "standby mode." Standby Mode is your unit's default setting. It does not turn the unit completely off. Standby Mode allows it to "sleep" and draw very little battery power. Because the unit is not completely shut off the next time you turn it on it will start up faster than if the unit was fully shut down. If the unit is left idle for 24 hours it will automatically leave the Standby "sleep" state and switch to a full shut down to save battery power. However, the power button's Standby setting is unchanged; the next time you power down it will again return to Standby Mode. If you wish you can disable Standby Mode so that the unit will completely shut down when you turn it off. To disable it select POWER OFF in the Power Key box of the Interface Options Menu. Units of Measure This menu adjusts the units of measure the unit uses to display speed and distance (statute miles or meters), your heading (true or magnetic), the current time (12 hour or 24 hour format) and the date (Month/Day/Year, Day/Month/Year or Year/Month/Day).

WAAS means your GPS is receiving reliable correction signals from the FAA's Wide Area Augmentation System. WAAS is designed for use in aircraft but occasionally terrestrial vehicles can attain a WAAS lock. This is the most accurate position signal available.
EPE (Estimated Position Error)
The Estimated Position Error or EPE is shown right next to the Current Position Lock buttons. This value represents the expected error from a benchmark location. In other words, if the EPE shows 50 feet, then the position shown by the unit is estimated to be within 50 feet of the actual location. This also gives you an indicator of the fix quality the unit currently has. The smaller the position error number the better (and more accurate) the fix is. If the position error flashes dashes then the unit hasn't locked onto the satellites and the number shown isn't valid.

Satellite Display

A white circle that serves as a graphical view of the satellites overhead fills much of the right half of the screen. Each satellite is shown on the circular chart relative to your position. The GPS receiver is tracking satellites that are in blue type. The receiver hasn't locked onto a satellite if the number is in dark blue, so it isn't being used to track the position.

Lat/Lon Coordinates

Beneath the Satellite Display, you can see your Coordinates in Latitude and Longitude. These numbers can be used to pinpoint your location on any map, or to create contacts at your position on another GPS. Transfer Data In addition to storing media files such as music and pictures you can use MMC or SD Cards to store and transfer GPS data recorded on the unit. This is a handy way to save contacts that you have created, trails of places you have been and routes you have set up. To save data to your memory card or to load data from your memory card choose the TRANSFER DATA command from the Options Menu. Tell the iWAY whether you want to LOAD data for the iWAY to display and use or SAVE data to the card to store or transfer it to another GPS unit. If you want to Load data choose the dropdown box and make sure to select the filename of the GPS Data File you want to load. If you are saving data you can select the Filename text box to enter a new name describing the data you are saving. 44

FIND ADDRESS lets you enter a street address and navigate directly to it. ADDRESS BOOK lets you search through a list of contacts that you have created and navigate back to them. RECENT DESTINATIONS keeps track of the most recent places you have vis-
ited so you can go back again.
As mentioned in Section 2, the Location Information screen's GO TO command allows you to generate a route to any point on the map by placing the map cursor at your desired destination. These search options will be explained in the following pages. But first we should describe one of the iWAY's basic tools used when searching: the virtual keyboard.
Using the iWAY's Virtual Keyboard
Many of the search options available through the Find menu will require you to enter data such as shop names or address numbers. To do this, you will use the touch screen to select letters, numbers and symbols on the unit's virtual keyboard. Whenever you are asked to enter keyboard information, the keyboard will appear. It generally looks like one of the following images. Note the button in the bottom right corner, NUM/SYM. You can use this button to toggle between the Letters key set and the Numbers/Symbols key set.
The iWAY virtual keyboard is shown at left using the Letters key set and at right using the Numbers/Symbols key set. The American version will search by State/Province while the European version will search by Country.
Push DONE when the text field contains the information you want to enter. When you do, the iWAY will sometimes provide a list with more than one location that closely resembles the information you entered. Scroll through the list of addresses provided by the unit and choose your desired destination by highlighting and selecting it on screen.
Fuel, Lodging, Restaurants and other POIs
Most of the options in the Find menus work essentially the same. We will use the GAS, ATMS command as an example but you can follow essentially the same steps to locate and plot a course to any POI stored in the unit. 50
To find a nearby gas station: 1. Press FIND from the Main Menu to open the first Find menu. 2. Select GAS, ATMS. A screen will appear with a list of gas stations nearest to your current position. Wait a moment for the unit to finish compiling the list. Now you can choose the gas station you desire. NOTE: The iWAY has several methods of performing searches. If you are navigating, the unit searches for locations nearest to your current route. If you have the map cursor on screen the unit will search for all locations nearest to the map cursor. If you are not navigating and do not have the cursor on screen the unit will search for locations near your current position. You can choose a specific search setting by pressing the FIND BY button in the bottom left corner of the Nearest To Current Position screen.

Pages 2 and 3 of the Find Menu. In addition to these subcategories, pages 2 and 3 provide a Find Intersections option and an RV Parks/Services menu.
Intersections The Intersection command in the third Find menu will let you navigate to any street intersection stored on the iWAY's hard drive. This can be useful when you don't have a specific street address. To search for an intersection, from the third Find menu select INTERSECTION. The Find Streets menu will appear. Now select SPELL and the Find Streets screen with keyboard will appear. In the Find Streets menu enter a name for the First Street by touching anywhere inside the FIRST STREET field. The virtual keyboard will appear. Enter the name of the street (without direction or street type modifiers such as "N." for "North" or "Ave." for Avenue). When you are finished entering the street name press DONE. The iWAY will return to the Find Streets menu with the entered name showing in the First Street field.
When you have entered the name of the first street the unit will ask for the name of the second street as seen in the far left image. Press Spell and enter the name of the second street by using the on screen keyboard (center image). Once the two street names have been entered press Done and the unit will begin searching for the intersection as seen in the far right image. If the unit is not able to locate the intersection you are searching for a pop up box will appear telling you it was unable to locate the intersection.
Choosing New Destinations while Navigating
So far we have explained some of the ways the iWAY generates a route. No matter which method you use the iWAY responds in the same way. It begins examining the roads between your current position and your selected destination. If you are navigating to a destination the iWAY will behave a little differently. The iWAY needs to know whether you want to cancel your current navigation or put it on hold while you visit this new location. You can even schedule to visit the new location after you finish your current route. When you choose Detour Here the iWAY will immediately navigate you to a selected location. Once you arrive the iWAY will resume navigating to your previous destination. This can be useful when you are traveling to a destination and want to stop for lunch along the way. Search for the nearest restaurant, detour to the restaurant and then the iWAY will automatically switch back to your chosen destination. New Final Destination will add the new location to the end of your current route. So if you are navigating to a nearby restaurant and choose to set a gas station as your New Final Destination the iWAY will direct you to the restaurant first and send you on to the gas station after you have finished eating. Cancel Current Navigation will stop navigating to your old destination and start you navigating to the new location.

Following a Generated Route
By default the iWAY tries to find the fastest, shortest route to your destination. It will generate a list of instructions detailing the turns you need to make and the roads you need to follow. It will also draw a magenta line on the map display showing the route you should follow. Every turn in your route every instruction you will receive is shown on the map as a green dot on the magenta route line. You can point the map cursor at any of these dots and a pop-up text box will show you the text instruction for that turn.
The iWAY clearly indicates every turn in a generated route.
Push the Location Information button while a turn dot is selected and the Turn Preview Screen for that turn will immediately appear. It's easy to make the iWAY generate a route. It's a little harder to describe exactly how you should use that information. Following the routes generated by the iWAY will take some practice. You have to learn when it's perfect and when it's just good. And, of course, you have to learn what exactly it means by some of the terms it uses. In the following pages we will try to give you some pointers to lead you in that direction. Knowing the Area The iWAY is designed to help you find your way around unfamiliar streets. It can be extremely handy at home, too, but there is no substitute for local knowledge. If you use the iWAY in your own neighborhood it may occasionally recommend a route that you know isn't the best option. The unit does its best to provide the optimum route in all situations but if you know a better path than the one the iWAY provides, take it. As soon as you leave the iWAY's recommended course it will immediately begin generating a new route based on your new position. Using Turn Preview and the Directions List Turn Preview and the Directions list are both addressed in Section 4. The main navigation mode of the iWAY is the Map Mode with its Overlay Data and voice instructions. The goal of the Map Mode is to provide you a constant awareness of your current position on your route and a general sense of the larger route. Turn Preview and the Directions list are designed to give you slightly different information from the basic Map Mode navigation. 56
Turn Preview allows you to leave your current position and focus more closely on a turn in the route ahead. A closer zoom range and large-font data boxes will appear to help you see exactly what the road conditions are ahead. The Directions list gives you a detailed description of the entire route with more information than you can see in the basic Map Mode. The Directions list displays every step of the way, so you get a good idea of what to expect further down the road. The path described in the Directions list parallels the magenta route line on your Map Mode. Every entry in the list is shown on the map's route as a dot, as mentioned before. You can select any turn in the Directions list to open a Turn Preview screen for that instruction. These tools can be very useful when checking a route through a known area. After the iWAY generates a route open the Directions list and read through the steps to see if it generally matches the path you would take. If the route is over unknown ground this can be a very useful way to prepare your self for the path ahead. Considering Temporary or Local Conditions Unfortunately, the iWAY cannot possibly be aware of all temporary or local conditions that could affect your course. Short-term construction, traffic jams or local bans on U-turns could all impact the usefulness of an iWAY-generated route. If you are following a route generated by the iWAY and temporary or local conditions make it impossible or inconvenient to follow the iWAY's instructions use your best judgment. Keep driving and do your best to keep moving toward your destination. Whenever the iWAY notices that you have left the path it generated for you it will begin generating a new one based on your new position. This feature will help you when dealing with temporary or local conditions that interfere with a route. When construction diverts you from the route the iWAY recommended you will often find that the iWAY recalculates your route and creates one that matches the official detour. The most important step in learning how to follow iWAY's routes is practice. Use the iWAY as often as possible and pay attention to the way it "thinks." With time you will learn exactly how to get the most out of the navigation provided by the unit.
