Following a Generated Route

By default, the iWAY tries to find you the fastest, shortest route to your destination. It will generate a list of instructions detailing the turns you need to make and the roads you need to follow along the way. It will also draw a magenta line on the map display, showing the route you're supposed to take.

Every turn in your route – every instruction you'll receive – is shown on the map as a green dot on the magenta route line. You can point the map cursor at any of these dots and a pop-up text box will show you the text instruction for that turn.

The iWAY clearly indicates every turn in a generated route.

Push the Location Information button while a turn dot is selected, and the Turn Preview Screen for that turn will immediately appear.

It's easy to teach the steps to make the iWAY generate a route. It's a little harder to describe exactly how you should use that information. Following the routes generated by the iWAY will take some practice. You have to learn when it's perfect, and when it's just good. And, of course, you have to learn what exactly it means by some of the terms it uses. In the following pages, we'll try to give you some pointers to lead you in that direction.

Knowing the Area

The iWAY is designed to help you find your way in unfamiliar streets. It can be extremely handy at home, too, but there is no substitute for local knowledge. If you use the iWAY in your own neighborhood, it may occasionally recommend a route that you know isn't the best option. Of course, we do our best to provide the optimum route in all situations, but if you know a better path than the one the iWAY provides, take it.
