but when in doubt you can choose to SEARCH ALL POIS BY NAME from page 2 of the Find Menu. The iWAY has very powerful search tools to help you refine your search, and pick precisely the location you want out of all the iWAY’s stored locations.

NOTE:

Any time you perform a search while the map cursor is up, by default the distances listed for search results will be calculated from the cur- sor position, not your current position. That means you can scroll ahead to a destination a hundred miles away, and find the nearest hotel there, or you could clear the cursor and do a search for the hotel nearest your current location, then finish the trip tomorrow.

FIND ADDRESS lets you enter a street address and navigate directly to it. ADDRESS BOOK lets you search through a list of contacts that you've cre- ated, and navigate back to them.

RECENT DESTINATIONS is a helpful function that keeps track of the most recent places you have navigated to, so you can go right back.

Finally, as we mentioned in Sec. 2, the Location Information screen's GO TO command allows you to generate a route to any point on the map, simply by placing the map cursor at your desired destination.

We'll discuss all of these search options in the following pages, but first we need to describe one of the iWAY's basic tools, which will be used a lot in 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 iWAY'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 that says NUM/SYM. You can use this button to toggle between the Letters key set and the Numbers and Symbols key set.
