Section 5:
Searching, Finding and Navigating
One of the most important uses of the iWAY is generating routes to
help you get from where you are, to where you want to be. In this sec-
tion, we'll teach you how to make iWAY generate a route for you, as
well as how to use the information iWAY provides.
With the exception of the simple
GO TO command on the Location In-
formation screen, the iWAY's search functions all begin with pressing
the
FIND button. When you do so, the Find menu appears, as shown in
the following image.
The iWAY Find Menu.
NOTE:
You can search for items even before the unit has acquired a posi-
tion. If you do a search before your position has been determined,
iWAY will show you distance and bearing to the selected item from
the unit's last known position.
The options on the left side of the list all point to a database of POIs
(Points of Interest) stored on your unit. We've divided Fuel, Lodging
and Restaurants into their own categories to save you time on the most
common searches. These category buttons can be convenient, but when
in doubt just use the
EVERYTHING button. The iWAY has very powerful
search tools to help you refine your search, and pick precisely the loca-
tion you want out of all the iWAY’s stored locations.
