Map Mode Operation

MAP/MUSIC
The Map Mode display shows your current position on a moving map.
It's the main display mode you'll be using while driving around town.
You can do a lot with the Map Mode display. Its basic purpose is to
show where you are, and what's around you. That's what we mean
when we say "current position on a moving map." 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 centered on 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.
Map Mode display, with toolbar buttons showing.
There are three different ways to view the map. The Map Orientation
button can be found in the top left corner of the screen. Touch this but-
ton to toggle between North Up, Track Up and 3D Mode. Practice some
with each of the modes, and find out which one is right for you.
The iWAY is useful for more than just showing you your current sur-
roundings, though. Overlay Data boxes – like those in the bottom right
corner of the image above – provide textual information about your lo-
cation and the route that you're following. You also need to be able to
look around and find destinations for the iWAY to get you to, whether
they're across town or across the country.
At any time you can change what's visible on the map display by touching
the screen, which will bring up a toolbar with several map display buttons.
The map display toolbar buttons are, from top to bottom:
Clear Cursor clears the toolbar from the screen and centers the map
on your current position.
