The Map Mode Display and On-Screen Commands
The Map Mode screen shows your current position and route from a
"bird's-eye" view. By default the iWAY shows the map in a 3D view.
This can be changed if you would 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
M
AP
button in 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 your position.
The arrow always points in the direction you are traveling. When the
Map Mode displays 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 will see the highway on the map ap-
proach your current position icon, then scroll away behind it even as
the highway overpass dwindles in your rear-view mirror. The iWAY
uses the Map Mode display to provide information about your sur-
roundings. You can also use it to explore locations other than your cur-
rent position. All of the tools you will need to operate the Map Mode
display are available right on-screen.
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 map as possible.
You can change what's visible on the map display at any time by touch-
ing the screen. When you do, a map cursor will appear along with a
toolbar containing several map display buttons.
Using the Menu Button
The Menu button appears in the top left corner of the screen. Press this
button to enter the menus and submenus which allow you to toggle be-
tween Map and Music Mode, search for a destination, select a com-
mand or adjust a feature. We will discuss the Menu in the following
pages and the Options Menu (accessible from the Menu) in Section 4.
Using the Speak Instruction Button
This button appears just below the Menu button. Push this button once
to have the iWAY repeat the current navigation instruction or to bring
up the volume control slider. If you are not navigating the iWAY will
speak a short test message.
Whenever the iWAY is giving an instruction a volume control slider
will appear below the speak button. You can press and drag the control
