Section 6:
Point-to-Point Navigation
The iWAY 600
C
's primary job is providing turn-by-turn road naviga-
tion, but it can also display plot trails and perform traditional straight-
line or point-to-point navigation in off road situations.
This section will explain how to operate the unit in point-to-point navi-
gation mode and how to use the two additional map sets described be-
low. In this section, we assume you already have a basic understanding
of the buttons, menus and turn-by-turn functions.
In addition to the turn-by-turn NAVTEQ
™ road maps, the hard drive
also contains NauticPath ™ USA marine coastal charts and MapCre-
ate ™ topographical maps for North America. The MapCreate series 7
data contains thousands of inland lakes with bottom contours and
other underwater details.
Turn-by-turn navigation does not work with any of these optional
point-to-point map sets.
NOTE:
When using Standard (MapCreate) or NauticPath map data, you
must search for POIs with the
S EARCH A LL POI S BY N AME
button. The
other search categories do not work with these point-to-point maps.
On the map, if a symbol for a POI or other item is selected with the
cursor, pressing the Location Information button displays a POI in-
formation screen for that item.
Caution:
The iWAY 600
C
is designed for primary use inside automobiles,
but the waterproof case and point-to-point navigation make it
suitable for the outdoors. However, the automotive mounting
bracket is not designed for boats, motorcycles or off-road vehi-
cles. These installation types require an optional bracket and
cradle designed for rugged outdoor use.
If you are interested in outdoor mounts, see the accessory ordering in-
formation inside this manual's back cover.
About Straight-line Navigation Mode (Point-to-Point)
You have probably heard the old adage, "The shortest distance between
two points is a straight line." Well, that's exactly what straight-line
navigation is. It allows you to create a straight-line navigation course
between yourself and another point on the map screen.
