As mentioned in Section 2, the Location Information screen's
GO TO
command allows you to generate a route to any point on the map by
placing the map cursor at your desired destination. These search op-
tions will be explained in the following pages. But first we should de-
scribe one of the iWAY's basic tools used when searching: the virtual
keyboard.
Using the iWAY's Virtual Keyboard
Many of the search options available through the Find menu will re-
quire you to enter data such as shop names or address numbers. To do
this, you will use the touch screen to select letters, numbers and sym-
bols on the unit's virtual keyboard.
Whenever you are asked to enter keyboard information, the keyboard
will appear. It generally looks like one of the following images. Note the
button in the bottom right corner,
NUM/SYM. You can use this button to
toggle between the Letters key set and the Numbers/Symbols key set.
The iWAY virtual keyboard is shown at left using the Letters key set
and at right using the Numbers/Symbols key set. The American version
will search by State/Province while the European version will search
by Country.
Push DONE when the text field contains the information you want to
enter. When you do, the iWAY will sometimes provide a list with more
than one location that closely resembles the information you entered.
Scroll through the list of addresses provided by the unit and choose
your desired destination by highlighting and selecting it on screen.
Fuel, Lodging, Restaurants and other POIs
Most of the options in the Find menus work essentially the same. We
will use the
GAS, ATMS command as an example but you can follow es-
sentially the same steps to locate and plot a course to any POI stored in
the unit.
