The Directions List is shown left; a Turn Preview is shown right.

Turn Preview allows you to leave your current position to focus mi-

nutely on a particular turn in the path ahead. A close zoom range and

large-font data boxes combine to help you see exactly the road condi-

tions up ahead.

The Directions List, on the other hand, gives you a detailed description

of the entire route – more information than you can see in the basic

Map Mode. The Directions List tells you every step of the way, so you

can get a very good idea what to expect further down the road.

The path described in the Directions List parallels the magenta route

line on your Map Mode, and every entry in the list is shown on the

map's route as a dot, as we mentioned. 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 yourself for the path ahead.

Considering Temporary or Local Conditions
Of course, 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're 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
