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

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.
