Considering Temporary or Local Conditions

Of course, the iWAY cannot possibly be aware of all temporary or local conditions that could affect your course. Short-term construction, traffic jams, or local bans on U-turns could all impact the usefulness of an iWAY-generated route.

If you're following a route generated by the iWAY and temporary or local conditions make it impossible (or inconvenient) to follow the iWAY's instructions, use your best judgment. Keep driving, and do your best to keep moving toward your destination.

Whenever the iWAY notices that you have left the path it generated for you, it will begin generating a new one, based on your new position. This feature is particularly handy for dealing with temporary or local conditions that interfere with a route. When construction diverts you from the route the iWAY recommended, you'll often find that the iWAY recalculates your route and builds one that matches the official detour.

The most important step in learning how to follow iWAY's routes is practicing. Use the iWAY as often as possible, and pay attention to the way it "thinks." With time, you'll learn exactly how to get the very most out of the navigation provided by this clever little GPS unit.
