Of course, the convenience of toll roads comes at a price. If you'd rather
save some of the cost of travelling toll roads, consider setting the iWAY
to generally Avoid toll roads (press and drag the
TOLL ROADS slider to the
right). If you want to drive free, drag the slider all the way to the right,
and the iWAY won't use toll roads at all.
Of course, if you prefer the convenience of toll roads (and don't mind the
cost), you can give them an even greater value by pressing and drag-
ging the slider to the left.
Prefer/Avoid Interstates
Of course, Interstate Highways aren't as expensive to travel as toll
roads, but sometimes the stress of merging and exiting combined with
the high speed make interstates less attractive – especially for short
trips across town.
The default is already designed to avoid Interstates for very short trips,
but if you feel like it's sending you to the highway too often, try telling
the iWAY to Avoid Interstates (press and drag the
INTERSTATES slider to
the right).
Like toll roads, you might prefer the speed of Interstate travel. You can tell
iWAY to prefer Interstates by pressing and dragging the slider to the left.
Turn Preview
The Turn Preview checkbox on this screen allows you to toggle whether
or not the iWAY displays a Turn Preview screen whenever you ap-
proach a turn in your route, as described earlier.
Auto Zoom (On/Off)
The iWAY has an Auto Zoom feature which attempts to show you the most
map detail possible as you navigate along a route. While the moving map
shifts to track your current position, the Auto Zoom will zoom the map in
and out based on your speed and the distance to your next turn.
If it’s turned on, the Auto Zoom takes control any time the map cursor
isn't showing. When the map cursor is up, you can use Zoom In, Zoom
Out and the Zoom Selection Box to control the zoom level. As soon as
you Clear Cursor, though, Auto Zoom will automatically recalculate the
zoom level.
If you would prefer to manually control the zoom level of your map dis-
play, you can toggle the Auto Zoom feature off by choosing
AUTO ZOOM
from the Map Menu, or by pressing the Zoom Range button on the bot-
tom corner of your map display (when the cursor isn’t showing). You
can turn this feature back on in the same ways.
