NOTE:
Any time you perform a search while the map cursor is up, the dis-
tances listed for search results will be calculated from the cursor
position, not your current position. That means you can scroll
ahead to a destination a hundred miles away, and find the nearest
hotel there, or you could clear the cursor and do a search for the ho-
tel nearest your current location, then finish the trip tomorrow.
FIND ADDRESS lets you enter a street address and navigate directly to it.
WAYPOINTS lets you search through a list of waypoints that you've cre-
ated, and navigate back to them.
RECENT FINDS is a helpful function that keeps track of the most recent
places you have navigated to, so you can go right back.
Finally, as we mentioned in Sec. 2,
SELECTED ITEM opens the Waypoint
Information screen for a waypoint or POI selected on the map. From
the Waypoint Information Screen you can choose to Go To the selected
location or display its map location.
We'll discuss all of these search options in the following pages, but first
we need to describe one of the iWAY's basic tools, which will be used a
lot in searching: the information entry system.
Entering Names and Numbers into the iWAY
Many of the search options available through the Find menu will re-
quire you to enter data such as store names or address numbers. To do
this, you will use the right and left arrow keys to select a character po-
sition and the up and down arrow keys to change the selected character
to the desired letter, number or symbol.
Whenever you need to enter textual information, you will see a white
text box with a label such as Find By Name. Use the right and left ar-
rows to select a character in the field, and the up and down arrows to
change that character.
As you enter the beginning of a name, the iWAY will often suggest pos-
sible endings. The list below will also show names closely resembling
the one that you are typing. When the desired name appears in the list
below, press
ENT to Find in List, and use the up and down arrows to
select the desired entry. Press
ENT again to accept that value.
