Searching, Finding, and Navigating

One of the most important uses of the iWAY is generating routes to help you get from where you are, to where you want to be. In this sec- tion, we'll teach you how to make iWAY generate a route for you, as well as how to use the information iWAY provides.

With the exception of the simple GO TO command on the Location In- formation screen, the iWAY's search functions all begin with pressing the FIND button on the Map Mode Menu. When you do so, the Find menu appears, as shown in the following image.

The iWAY Find Menu (Find 1 page).

NOTE:

You can search for items even before the unit has acquired a posi- tion. If you do a search before your position has been determined, iWAY will show you distance and bearing to the selected item from the unit's last known position. It will also offer to simulate the route. For details on simulating a route, see Sec. 4.
