Using the Name Filter
Sometimes a search returns far too many results or maybe just more
results than you feel like scrolling through. The Name Filter on the
search results list helps you narrow down the list to just those items
containing a particular set of letters.
To use the Name Filter press anywhere inside the
NAME FILTER field and
the virtual keyboard will appear. Type all or part of the name you are
looking for and press DONE. The iWAY will return to the previous list
but it will only show those locations whose names contain the text you
entered in the Name Filter field.

Taco Bells, Taco Buenos, and any other restaurant nearby with "Taco"
anywhere in the name as shown in the following images.

get a table at a restaurant. Much more important to you are the Go To
and Find On Map commands.
You can choose Find On Map to make the iWAY close the Location In-
formation Screen and move the map so that it's centered on the se-
lected POI. This helps if you are trying to figure out where it is in rela-
