5 Preface: Introducing GPS And, how this manual can get you out on the road, fast! Welcome to the exciting world of turn-by-turn GPS navigation! We know you're anxious to begin finding your way, but we have a favor to ask. Before you grab the iWAY  100m and begin installing it, please give us a moment or two to explain how our manual can he[...]

6 First, think of your unit as a small, highly automated computer. The iWAY 100m in c l u de s a k ey p a d a nd o n - sc r e e n m e n u s s o y o u c a n t e ll i t w ha t t o do . The screen lets the unit show your location on a moving map, as well as point the way to your destination. A speaker built into the power cable lets you hear verbal tu[...]

7 Section 1: Installation & Accessories This section describes the various accessories and cables that came with your iWAY, and exactly how to use them. Some of the most important in- formation in this section is how to connect the iWAY to your car's stereo, and how to use the MMC card to get your map information onto the iWAY. If you need[...]

8 Do not mix different battery types. Mixing battery types may cause leak- age. (For example, don’t use both alkaline and NiMH batteries at the same time, and don't use standard alkalines with rechargeable alkalines.) Battery Installation Turn the unit over so that the back is facing you. With your thumb or nail, pull back on the small clip [...]

9 Cigarette Lighter Power Adapter with Speaker To use external DC power: Plug the power cable's cigarette lighter speaker adapter into a cigarette lighter receptacle. Next, pull aside the rubber cover on the bottom of the unit and insert the other connector as shown in the following image. A small clip on the connector should hold the connecto[...]

10 Both of these solid-state flash memory devices are about the size of a postage stamp, and range in storage capacities from 8 MB to more than a gigabyte of storage. We have successfully tested SD cards up to 512 MB. Additional MMC cards are available from LEI Extras; see ordering in- formation inside the back cover of this manual. MMCs and SD car[...]

11 Add an MMC Card. 5. Turn the plastic rotating card lock until it holds the card firmly in place, with the grip parallel to the direction of the batteries. 6. Replace the batteries and battery cover. R-A-M  Bracket Mounting Systems Several R-A-M  mounting brackets are available for your iWAY. WARNING! When a GPS receiver is used in an autom[...]

12 Be sure to check the suction mount for adequate adhe- sion each time you use the unit, and reinstall it if neces- sary. This is a portable mounting device, and the normal heating and cooling cycle of a car's interior will eventu- ally loosen the seal. A loose suction cup could allow the unit to fall or come loose during a turn. Assembly Use[...]

13 After assembling the mount as described, slide the iWAY into the cradle and connect the power cable. You can loosen the socket arm nut to posi- tion the unit for optimum viewing, then tighten it snugly. To remove the bracket, pull on the suction release tab to break the vacuum seal. RAM suction cup base on windshield. If the suction cup mount ha[...]

14 Moving on: iWAY Operation Now that you've got the iWAY installed and working, it's time to find out how it works. The following section jumps right into a description of the Map Display, whi ch will tell you everything you need to know about the iWAY's moving map and the various settings in the map menu. If you feel comfortable us[...]

15 Section 2: The Map Display and Map Menu Options This section addresses the unit's Map Display operation. You can use the Map Display to access all of the iWAY's navigation features, from finding the nearest restaurant to plotting a road trip across the country. If you're already comfortable with the basic Map Display and want to l[...]

Units of Measure command: changes the units of measure used in displaying distance, time and heading information. Safety Mode command: turns on or off the Safety Mode, which pre- vents you from making ch[...]

18 Using the map is as simple as turning on the iWAY. A screen similar to those in the following images appears. For illustrative purposes, we have removed the textual data boxes that usually appear at the bottom of the screen, allowing more of the map to show. You can add or remove data boxes using the Customize command on the Map Menu, described [...]

19 Map display, left, and Map Menu, right. The Map Display has its own menu, which is used to find distances, change the orientation of your map, view map data, and perform other helpful map functions. To access the Map Menu, press the MENU key. We'll describe the various options in the Map Menu in detail later in this section. Waypoints One o[...]

20 Whenever you have a waypoint selected, you can press the FIND key and choose S ELECTED I TEM to access more information about it.

21 GPS Practice Run Start with the iWAY installed in your car. As you practice, try navigating to a location at least a few blocks away. You should start out navigating to a destination you're already familiar with. Don't be too surprised if iWAY suggests a different route than you would take. Try the iWAY's route. Then see the headi[...]

22 The Map Menu When you're using the iWAY you can press MENU to open a Map Menu containing several settings and commands relating to its mapping op- eration. You can use these settings to change the information iWAY provides you, as well as the way it generates that information. The iWAY works great right out of the box, but as you become mor[...]

23 Map Orientation command is shown left, and the Track Up mode at right. Track Up mode is ideal for driving directions, where " turn left" and "turn right" can more closely resemble the information presented on the screen. However, you can change the map orientation to North Up or Course Up if desired. The North Up setting cons[...]

24 Use the Route Options menu to control how iWAY generates routes. When generating a route, the iWAY is able to analyze certain types of roads or turns and adjust their values to either prefer or avoid them. Preferred road types will occur more often in your routes – the iWAY will deliberately try to take those types of roads. Road or turn types[...]

25 Prefer/Avoid Toll Roads By default, toll roads have a fairly high value in iWAY's route genera- tion, because they are generally high quality roads with high speed limits, allowing you to get where you're going faster. Of course, the convenience of toll roads comes at a price. If you'd rather save some of the cost of travelling to[...]

26 Auto Zoom (On/Off) The iWAY has an Auto Zoom feature which attempts to show you the most map detail possible as you navigate along a route. While the moving map shifts to track your current position, the Auto Zoom will zoom the map in and out based on your speed and the distance to your next turn. If you would prefer to manually control the zoom[...]

The Category list is longer than will fit on one page, so a scrollbar appears to the right of it. Press ↑ o[...]

28 A sample Turn Preview screen. As you can see in the previous image, the Turn Preview screen includes a close-up map of the turn itself, and you can see the gray route line indicating your path. Additional data boxes show the text instruction, the distance from your current location to the selected turn, the direc- tion of the turn (in this case,[...]

29 Entered Pos ition allows you to enter the exact latitude and longitude of a location, and the iWAY will then create a waypoint at that location. Average Pos ition causes the iWAY to record multiple location samples (until you end sampling) and create a single waypoint at the average of the various locations. Projected Pos ition allows you to ent[...]

37 The Satellite Status screen. The GPS Status Screen contains several graphical elements that repre- sent a lot of information. Current Position Lock A set of three buttons along the left side of the screen indicates the qual- ity of position lock your iWAY currently has. The button that's selected indicates your current position lock. If non[...]

38 Satellite Display A white circle that serves as a graphical view of the satellites overhead fills much of the right half of the screen. Each satellite is shown on the circular chart relative to your position. The GPS receiver is tracking sat- ellites that are in black type. The receiver hasn't locked onto a satellite if the number is in gra[...]

39 If you'd prefer a more accurate average measure, raise the Threshold above idle speed. The Trip Calculator will only track time spent and distance traveled while you're moving faster than the Threshold. You can adjust this value by selecting the label S PD T HRESHOLD and pressing ENT . Use the arrows keys to adjust the value in the box[...]

40 This example shows the Pop-up Help message for the Screen com- mand, located on the Main Menu. Disable/Enable TBT (Turn-by-Turn) Although the iWAY is designed to provide you with powerful turn-by-turn routes, sometimes you want navigation information directly to your desti- nation, regardless of the roads between here and there. We refer to this[...]

41 GPS Data files: GPS Data Files contain waypoints, routes, trails and event marker icons.

45 Section 4: 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 one-touch G O[...]

46 NOTE: Any time you perform a search while the map cursor is up, the dis- tances listed for search results will be calculated from the cursor 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 ho- tel n[...]

47 Use the arrow keys to enter names and numbers in iWAY text boxes. Now that you know how to enter the information the iWAY will need, let's look at some of the ways you can use this information. We'll simply work our way down the Find Menu screen. Find Any Item Selected by Map Cursor With a POI or map feature selected by the cursor, fro[...]

48 The Recent Finds list. You can use the Recent Finds command to quickly get back on your route if you diverted to a POI along the way, or to navigate back and forth between two locations on a common commute. Find Waypoints The My Waypoints command is used to search among waypoints that you have created on the iWAY. If you haven't created any[...]

49 Choose the waypoint you're interested in by selecting it from the list and pressing ENT . The Waypoint Information Screen will appear, al- lowing you to G O T O the waypoint, F IND O N M AP , E DIT its name and icon, or D ELETE it. Use the left or right arrows to choose any of these options, and press ENT to continue. Find Fuel, Lodging, Re[...]

50 Since this is the result of a POI search, the Waypoint Information Screen will likely have the name of the POI, its street address, and probably even its phone number. That can be very helpful for calling ahead to get a table at a restaurant if you're out of town. It's not so im- portant if you're just looking for a gas station, t[...]

51 section. Enter the desired address number, and press ENT . The Find Address menu will appear again, with the information you entered in the Address field. 3. To enter a street name , select the label S TREET and press ENT and the cursor will enter the text field. Enter the desired street name, and press ENT . NOTE: When you're entering a st[...]

52 choices will appear. Use the arrow keys to select the line of the address you want, then press ENT to bring up its Waypoint Information Screen. Of course, you already know how to use the Waypoint Information Screen. You can see how far away the address is, or choose Find On Map or Go To if you want to begin navigating to it. Find Streets or Inte[...]

53 Find first street, left, Street found, right. Find an Intersection To find an intersection, repeat the instructions for finding a street, en- tering the name of a crossing street in the Second Street field. Yo u could now also select a city, but your search will probably be faster if you leave those boxes blank. (You can specify a city later on [...]

54 By default, the iWAY tries to find you the fastest, shortest route to your destination. It will generate a list of instructions detailing the turns you need to make and the roads you need to follow along the way. It will also draw a gray line on the map display, showing the route you're supposed to take. Every turn in your route – every i[...]

55 Using Turn Preview and the Directions List Turn Preview and the Directions List are both described in Sec. 2. The main navigation mode of the iWAY is the Map Display with its Overlay Data and voice instructions. The goal of the Map Display is to provide you a constant awareness of your current position on your route, and a general sense of the l[...]

56 take. If the route is over unknown ground, this can be a very useful way to prepare yourself for the path ahead. 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 impac[...]
