from page

2 of the Find Menu. The iWAY has very powerful search tools to help

you refine your search, and pick precisely the location you want out of

all the iWAY’s stored locations.

NOTE:

Any time you perform a search while the map cursor is up, by default

the distances listed for search results will be calculated from the cur-

sor position, not your current position. That means you can scroll

ahead to a destination a hundred miles away, and find the nearest
hotel there, or you could clear the cursor and do a search for the hotel
nearest your current location, then finish the trip tomorrow.

Finally, as we mentioned in Sec. 2, the Location Information screen's

command allows you to generate a route to any point on the map,

simply by placing the map cursor at your desired destination.

We'll discuss all of these search options in the following pages, but first

we need to describe one of the iWAY's basic tools, which will be used a

lot in searching: the virtual keyboard.

Using the iWAY's Virtual Keyboard

Many of the search options available through the Find menu will re-

quire 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 sym-

bols on iWAY'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 that says

YM

. You can use this

button to toggle between the Letters key set and the Numbers and

Symbols key set.
