Lowrance electronic iWAY 350C - Manual (Page 7)

1
Preface: Introducing GPS
And, how this manual can get you out on the road, fast!
Welcome to the exciting world of turn-by-turn GPS navigation. Before
you grab the iWAY

350c and begin installing it, please give us a mo-
ment or two to explain how the manual can help you get the best per-
formance from your mapping GPS receiver and MP3 music player. Our
goal for this book is to get you on the road fast, with a minimum of fuss.
So, we designed our book so that you don't have to read the whole thing
from front to back for the information you want. At the start (or end) of
each segment, we will tell you what content is coming up next. If it's a
concept you are already familiar with, we will show you how and where
to skip ahead for the next important topic. We have also made it easy to
look up any tips you may need from time to time. Here's how:
The manual is organized into five sections. This preface will introduce
you to GPS, your iWAY 350 and the manual’s organization. The first
section will help you install the iWAY in your vehicle. We will also
show you how to use the USB cable to connect the iWAY to your PC.
We'll finish by describing some of the available accessories.
Section 2 covers Mapping Mode Operation. It will show you how easy it
is to run the iWAY 350, right out of the box. This section features a one-
page GPS Practice Run. (If you've already jumped ahead and fig-
ured out how to install the unit yourself, and you just can't wait
any longer, turn to the Map Mode Practice Run on page 10 and
head for the road with your GPS unit.)
In Section 3, we leave Mapping mode and introduce you to Music Mode
Operation. We will tell you everything you need to know about getting
music into your iWAY, arranging the files on your memory card and cre-
ating and using play lists. We also explain how you can easily browse mu-
sic on your iWAY and listen to your favorite tunes while navigating. If
you are in a hurry to get some music playing, skip to the Music
Practice Run on page 19. To learn how to copy music files to the iWAY
see the included supplemental document "Making USB Connections Be-
tween iWAY 350 and Computers."
Section 4 describes the Options Menu, the commands used to configure
settings such as screen brightness, sound levels and units of measure.
We will also show you how to use features like the Trip Calculator.
Finally, in Section 5, we will go into detail on how to search for and
navigate to points of interest, addresses and contacts you have created.
We’ll also offer tips on how to understand and follow the automatic
turn-by-turn routes you have created. Before we go any further, we
would like to take just a moment to explain how the iWAY works.
