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 prohib- ited in some locations. While navigating, a driver is responsible for noting all traffic signs and obeying all local traffic laws. When fol- lowing turn-by-turn directions, a driver must take advantag

How Lowrance GPS and the GPS System Work You'll navigate a little easier if you understand the basics of how the iWAY 350 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 350 includes a touch powerful screen with several menus so you can tell it what to do. The screen also lets the

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 important information in this section is how to connect the iWAY to your car's power, and how to use the USB-to-PC cable to add songs or picture files to your MMC or SD Card. 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 7.

NOTE: When operating on external power, the iWAY is designed to enter a Standby mode if the external power source fails. For full details, see the discussion of power button functions in Sec. 4. External Power and Standby Mode The iWAY has an optional Standby Mode (it is on, by default), which allows the unit to conserve power while still monitoring your current position. When the iWAY is in Standby Mode, it will activate quickly when turned on. If the iWAY is running on external power, and that

To insert an MMC card, hold it so that the label faces forward, and slide it into the slot, pushing with your fingernail until the card locks in place. To remove the card, again use your fingernail to push the card, which will release the catch and eject the card. The MMC slot can be found on the left side of the iWAY. Getting Music (or Pictures) on Your iWAY Of course, to use your iWAY's Music Mode, you'll need some music files to listen to. The iWAY uses the MMC card to store music (or pic

Other Accessories The iWAY comes with a soft fabric face cover to protect the screen from damage when it’s not in use. It simply slips on and off the unit. The iWAY 350 shown with protective face cover. 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

Section 2: Mapping Mode Operation This section addresses the unit's Mapping Mode operation. Mapping Mode includes all navigation features, from finding the nearest restaurant 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 Opera- tion. Before you turn on the unit and find where you are, it's a good idea to learn about the different menus, the two Page screens and how they work together. BUT, if you jus

Buttons are easy; scrollbars can be a little harder. NOTE: From time to time, you may notice a slight delay between pressing an on-screen button and seeing the iWAY respond. This delay is necessary when the iWAY needs to read information from the hard drive before continuing. If the iWAY does not immediately respond

Map Mode Practice Run Start with the iWAY installed in your car. As you practice, try navigat- ing to a location at least a few blocks away. You should start out navi- gating to a destination you're already familiar with. Don't be too sur- prised if iWAY suggests a different route than you would take. Try the iWAY's route. Then see the heading "Knowing the Area" in Sec. 5. 1. Connect the unit to your car's power. (See complete installation de- tails beginning on page 3.) 2. To turn on the unit,

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 shows the map as a 3d view. NOTE: This can be changed if you'd prefer to see the map from a different perspective. See the topic Using the Map Orientation Button, later in this section. To switch to Map Mode from Music Mode, press the MAP button on the Main Menu. You can do a lot with the Map Mode display.

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 Menu Button The Menu button appears in the top left corner of the screen. Press this button to show the menus and submenus, which allow you
