screen. When the box contains all the area you want to see lift the sty-
lus and the map display will zoom in.
If you are starting at a very wide zoom, Zoom Box can be an extremely
helpful way of narrowing down your view to exactly the area you are
interested in. Once Zoom Box is activated you can keep drawing boxes
on smaller and smaller areas until you are focused on just what you
want to see.
Zoom In and Zoom Out change the current zoom level in discreet
steps moving in or out from the cursor's location. Control the zoom to
get the most detail possible while still showing all of the necessary
area. Tap Zoom In once to see a smaller map area in higher detail. Tap
Zoom Out once to see more area, with less detail. You can press and
hold either zoom button to repeatedly zoom until you reach the right
level of detail. You can use these buttons in combination with the Move
Map function to quickly focus on an area other than your current loca-
tion.
NOTE:
When activated the iWAY's Auto Zoom feature controls the map's
zoom level any time the cursor isn't showing. This means that any
adjustments you make to the zoom with the cursor up will be reset
to a calculated level once you hit
CLEAR CURSOR. If you prefer to
manually control the zoom level all the time turn off the Auto Zoom
feature as described in Section 4.
Using the Map Orientation Button
There are three different ways to view the map. The Map Orientation
button can be found in the bottom left corner of the screen. Touch this
button to switch among North Up, Track Up and 3D. North Up always
shows the map with North at the top of the screen.
Track Up rotates the map so that the direction you are traveling is at
the top of the screen. 3D renders the path ahead from a position above
and behind your current position so that the display on the map more
closely matches what you will actually see through your windshield.
Practice with each mode and find out which one is right for you.
Using the Location Information Button
There's one more button that appears whenever the cursor is
up. The Location Information button appears in the top right
corner of the screen.
You can always use this button to bring up a screen showing details on
the location selected by the map cursor. This could be a Point of Inter-
