If you want the iWAY to automatically show you Turn Previews when- ever you're navigating, from the Map Menu choose TURN PREVIEW to tog- gle the option "On." You can turn this feature off in the same way.

Overlay Data Setup

Overlay Data are the text boxes that appear over your map display con- taining information such as the distance to your destination and the instructions for your next turn.

You can choose which information you want to appear as Overlay Data, as well as its location on the screen. To do this, from the Main Menu choose OVERLAY DATA SETUP. The first screen that appears is the Overlay Data Shown screen, showing your current setup. You can choose any item in the list to change its font size or location.

Use the Overlay Data Shown screen to modify Overlay Data.

You can also choose the last line in the list, "(Press here to add...)" to add another data box to your screen. The list of available overlay data appears, in an expandable tree structure.

Choose the + next to any of the categories to expand it, and show the available data within the category. You can press the - next to any ex- panded category to hide its contents, to clear up the screen.

From this list, choose any of the data options to add it to your Overlay Data shown. You can then modify it on the Overlay Data Shown screen just like any of the others.

A checkbox at the bottom of the screen allows you to determine whether the iWAY should draw boxes around the information presented, or sim- ply overlay the text on the map.
