GPS Practice Run

Start with the iWAY installed in your car. As you practice, try navigating
to a location at least a few blocks away. You should start out navigating
to a destination you're already familiar with. Don't be too surprised if
iWAY suggests a different route than you would take. Try the iWAY's
route. Then see the heading "Knowing the Area" in Sec. 4.

1. With an MMC containing map details for your area in the unit, con-
nect it to your car's power. (See complete installation details beginning
on page 7.)

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

POWER

key. Read the warn-

ings that appear, then press

EXIT

to clear them and view the Map Display.

3. With your position acquired, press one of the arrow keys to bring up
the Map Cursor. Now you can:

Zoom in closer to see greater detail: press

ZIN

(zoom in key.)

Zoom out to see more area, less detail: press

ZOUT

(zoom out key.)

Scroll map north, south, east or west using arrow keys

↑ ↓ → ←.

To stop scrolling and return to current position on map, press

EXIT

key.

4. Choose your destination. Find an interesting location within a short
driving distance from your house, and move the cursor to point at that
location. Zoom in or out as necessary to precisely select your destination.

5. Press the

ENT

button once. The iWAY will immediately begin gener-

ating a route from your current position (or last known position, if you
haven't yet acquired a satellite lock) to the cursor position on the map.

When the route is generated, a dark path line will appear on the map,
and navigation instructions will begin to appear on your screen.

6. Press the

EXIT

button to clear the cursor, then press and hold

ENT

to

open the Create Waypoint menu. Press

ENT

to create the waypoint at

your current location.

7. 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.

8. To navigate back home, follow steps 5-9, using the waypoint that you
created in step 8 as your destination in step 5.

9. To turn off the unit, press and hold

POWER

key for three seconds.
