The Map Mode Display and On-Screen Commands

The Map Mode screen shows your current position and the path of your cur- rent route from a "bird's-eye" view. By default, the iWAY rotates the map so that the direction you're currently traveling stays at the top of the screen.

NOTE:

This can be changed, if you'd prefer to keep north at the top of the screen. See the topic Using the Map Orientation Button, later in this section.

To switch to Map Mode from Music Mode, press the MAP/MUSIC button. You can do a lot with the Map Mode display. Its basic purpose is to show where you are, and what's around you. The iWAY uses a black arrowhead icon to indicate where you are, and the arrow is pointing the direction you're moving.

When you have the Map Mode displaying your current position, the iWAY will keep this icon in the center of the screen, scrolling the map as you travel so that you can see your surroundings change. If you pass under a highway, you'll see the highway on the map approach your cur- rent position icon, then scroll away behind it even as the highway over- pass dwindles in your rear-view mirror.

The iWAY uses the Map Mode display to provide you with information about your surroundings. You can also use it to explore locations other than your current position. All of the tools you'll need to operate the Map Mode display are available right on-screen. The Map Mode display looks something like the screen in the following image.
