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 substi-
tute for local knowledge. If you use the iWAY in your own neighbor-
hood 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 pro-
vides, take it. As soon as you leave the iWAY's recommended course it
will immediately begin generating a new route based on your new posi-
tion.
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 Over-
lay 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.
