WARNING! A CAREFUL NAVIGATOR NEVER RELIES ON ONLY ONE METHOD TO OBTAIN POSITION INFORMATION. CAUTION When showing turn-by-turn navigation data, a GPS unit will show the shortest, most direct route to the destination. There are times when it may give directions, such as a U-turn, that may be prohibited in some locations. While navigating, a driver is re- sponsible for noting all traffic signs and obeying all local traffic laws. When following turn-by-turn directions, a driver must take advantage

How Lowrance GPS and the GPS System Work You'll navigate a little easier if you understand the basics of how the iWAY 500 scans the sky to tell you where you are and where you're going. (If you already understand GPS receivers and the GPS system, skip on ahead to Section 1, Installation & Accessories on page 3.) First, think of your unit as a small, highly automated computer. The iWAY 500 includes a keypad and a touch screen with menus so you can tell it what to do. The screen also lets the unit

Section 1: Installation & Accessories This section describes the various accessories and cables that came with your iWAY, and exactly how to use them. Some of the most impor- tant information in this section is how to connect the iWAY to your car's stereo, and how to use the USB-to-PC cable to copy your music onto the iWAY. If you need help using any of these accessories, look through this sec- tion. Otherwise, move on to Section 2: Mapping Mode Operation begin- ning on page 11. You can also tur

Attach power cable to iWAY. You can control the speaker's volume either by adjusting the level on the control on the side of the speaker (shown in an earlier image), or by adjusting the iWAY's volume in the Main Menu. We'll explain how to do that in the next section of this manual. Connecting the iWAY to Your Car's Stereo Although the speaker built into the power cable is sufficient for hearing your turn-by-turn instructions, you'll probably want better sound qual- ity when listening to your mu

The direct cable connection, shown in the preceding and following im- ages, is a Y-shaped cable that includes the following: a line-in connector that plugs into your stereo; a power plug that attaches to the power socket on the back of your iWAY; and red and black wires that connect directly to your car's power supply. The Auxiliary Line cable used to attach the iWAY to your car's stereo. To install the Auxiliary Line cable, follow these steps: 1. Consult your car stereo's instructions to see if

high-pitched squeal or the sound is otherwise distorted, a ground loop isolator can eliminate the problem. These are available at many electronics stores. For example, Radio Shack offers an effec- tive isolator, catalog number 270-054. This or other ground loop isolators may require additional cable adapters to connect with the iWAY and your radio. Consult your electronics retailer for help in determining the parts you may need for your system. 2. Next, find the auxiliary line input on your ca

2. Try reducing the iWAY's output level. This step will resolve the issue if you're overloading the input to your stereo or your FM modula- tor. To reduce the iWAY's output level, pressing and hold the SPEAK key until the Sounds menu appears. Notice that there are independent Voice Volume and Music Volume controls. Try reducing the MUSIC VOLUME until the distortion is elimi- nated. This method will not always work, because sometimes the song itself is recorded too high a volume level. In this ca

1. Right-click the iWAY drive letter. (This can be found by first double- clicking the "My Computer" icon on the Windows desktop.) 2. If the file is still copying (or another file operation is under way), you will see the standard Windows hourglass symbol. This indicates the unit's hard drive is still active. When the hourglass disappears, the file has finished copying. Unplug the USB cable and resume other tasks. 3. If you right-click the reader's drive letter and instead of the hour- glass sym

R-A-M Mounting Systems Several R-A-M mounting brackets are available for your iWAY. There are permanent mounts and temporary mounts suitable for virtually any boat, aircraft or other vehicle, even motorcycle handlebars. Two R-A-M mounting systems for your unit. One model is a suction cup base that attaches to any smooth surface. Another has a weighted rubber base that can be molded to fit a dash- board, console or other location. Each of these mounts work without screws or adhesives. To

A special lint-free, microfiber towel is included for cleaning the unit’s screen. The towel is highly effective in clearing away smudges and fin- ger prints. Just wipe the screen with the dry towel — it's not necessary to moisten the towel with water. If you lose the towel or wear it out, you can replace it with a similar microfiber cloth. These are often avail- able where shop towels or auto cleaning towels are sold. CAUTION: Do not use any chemical, such as window cleaners, on the iWAY screen

Section 2: Mapping Mode Operation This section addresses the unit's Mapping Mode operation. Mapping Mode includes all navigation features, from finding the nearest restau- rant to plotting a road trip across the country. If you would prefer to start out using the built-in music player, skip ahead to Sec. 3, Music Mode Operation. Before you turn on the unit and find where you are, it's a good idea to learn about the different keys, the two Page screens and how they work together. BUT, if you just

The Map Mode Display and On-Screen Commands The Map Mode screen shows your current position and the path of your cur- rent route from a "bird's-eye" view. By default, the iWAY rotates the map so that the direction you're currently traveling stays at the top of the screen. NOTE: This can be changed, if you'd prefer to keep north at the top of the screen. See the topic Using the Map Orientation Button, later in this section. To switch to Map Mode from Music Mode, press the MAP/MUSIC button. You ca

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 menu as possi- ble. You can change what's visible on the map display at any time, though, simply by touching the screen. When you do, a map cursor will appear along with a toolbar that contains several map display buttons. Using the Map Display Toolbar The map display toolbar buttons are used with the touch screen to con- trol what part of the map you see. You can zoom
