Lowrance electronic iWAY 350C - Manual (Page 64)

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 de-
scribe 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 fol-
lowing 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. Of course, we do our best to provide the optimum route in
all situations, but if you know a better path than the one the iWAY
provides, take it.
As soon as you leave the iWAY's recommended course, it will immedi-
ately begin generating a new route based on your new position.
Using Turn Preview and the Directions List
Turn Preview and the Directions list are both addressed in Sec. 4. The
main navigation mode of the iWAY is the Map Mode with its Overlay
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 gen-
eral 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.
