iv WARNING! A CAREFUL NAVIGATOR NEVER RELIES ON ONLY ONE METHOD TO OBTAIN POSITION INFORMATION. CAUTION When showing turn-by-turn navigation data, a GPS unit will show the shortest, most direct route to the destination. There are times when it may give directions, such as a U-turn, that may be prohibited in some locations.
1 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.
2 How Lowrance GPS and the GPS System Work You'll navigate a little easier if you understand the basics of how the iWAY 500 scans the sky to tell you where you are and where you're going. (If you already understand GPS receivers and the GPS system, skip on ahead to Section 1, Installation & Accessories on page 3.
3 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 impor- tant information in this section is how to connect the iWAY to your car's stereo, and how to use the USB-to-PC cable to copy your music onto the iWAY.
4 Attach power cable to iWAY. You can control the speaker's volume either by adjusting the level on the control on the side of the speaker (shown in an earlier image), or by adjusting the iWAY's volume in the Main Menu. We'll explain how to do that in the next section of this manual.
5 The direct cable connection, shown in the preceding and following im- ages, is a Y-shaped cable that includes the following: a line-in connector that plugs into your stereo; a power plug that attaches to the power socket on the back of your iWAY; and red and black wires that connect directly to your car's power supply.
6 high-pitched squeal or the sound is otherwise distorted, a ground loop isolator can eliminate the problem. These are available at many electronics stores.
7 2. Try reducing the iWAY's output level. This step will resolve the issue if you're overloading the input to your stereo or your FM modula- tor. To reduce the iWAY's output level, pressing and hold the SPEAK key until the Sounds menu appears.
8 1. Right-click the iWAY drive letter. (This can be found by first double- clicking the "My Computer" icon on the Windows desktop.) 2. If the file is still copying (or another file operation is under way), you will see the standard Windows hourglass symbol.
9 R-A-M Mounting Systems Several R-A-M mounting brackets are available for your iWAY. There are permanent mounts and temporary mounts suitable for virtually any boat, aircraft or other vehicle, even motorcycle handlebars. Two R-A-M mounting systems for your unit.
10 A special lint-free, microfiber towel is included for cleaning the unit’s screen. The towel is highly effective in clearing away smudges and fin- ger prints. Just wipe the screen with the dry towel — it's not necessary to moisten the towel with water.
11 Section 2: Mapping Mode Operation This section addresses the unit's Mapping Mode operation. Mapping Mode includes all navigation features, from finding the nearest restau- rant to plotting a road trip across the country. If you would prefer to start out using the built-in music player, skip ahead to Sec.
12 2. MAP/MUSIC – Press this key to toggle between the two page screens. Each page represents one of the unit's major operation modes. See Sec. 3 for full details on the Music Mode. 3. MENU – Press this key to show the menus and submenus, which allow you to select a command or adjust a feature.
13 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 that the direction you're currently traveling stays at the top of the screen.
14 When tracking your current position, the toolbar buttons on the left of the page are hidden, so that you can see as much of the menu as possi- ble. You can change what's visible on the map display at any time, though, simply by touching the screen.
15 Note that either the Move Map or the Zoom Box button is always se- lected. When you want to drag the map, make sure you have Move Map selected and not Zoom Box, otherwise you'll quickly zoom in on a very small area and have to zoom out a lot before you can pan.
16 top of the screen. 3D renders the path ahead from a position above and behind your current position, so that the display on the map more closely matches what you'll actually see through your windshield. Prac- tice some with each mode, and find out which one is right for you.
17 Book" will appear on the Location Information Screen. Choose A DD TO A DDRESS B OOK from the Location Information Screen to save a contact at the selected location.
18 formation Screen will appear, which includes detailed information about the contact as well as buttons to begin navigating to the contact (Go To), to show it on the map, to edit its name and display informa- tion, or to delete it from memory.
19 Map Mode Practice Run Start with the iWAY installed in your car. As you practice, try navigat- ing to a location at least a few blocks away. You should start out navi- gating to a destination you're already familiar with. Don't be too sur- prised if iWAY suggests a different route than you would take.
20 The Map Menu Any time you're using the iWAY in Map Mode you can press MENU to open a special Map Menu containing several settings and commands relating to Map Mode operation. You can use these settings to change the information iWAY provides you, as well as the way it generates that information.
21 The Directions List for a generated route. You can look up and down the list by pressing and dragging the blue slider bar to the right. You can select any individual instruction on-screen for more detailed information. This screen is called a Turn Preview.
22 direction of the turn (in this case, straight ahead), and the total dis- tance from the turn to the end of the route. If you want the iWAY to automatically show you Turn Previews when- ever you're navigating, from the Map Menu choose T URN P REVIEW to tog- gle the option "On.
23 Route Via Waypoints Although the iWAY is designed to generate your route from your start location all the way to your destination, sometimes you’ll want a little bit of control over the path it makes. The Route Via Waypoints menu allows you to add intermediate locations along your route.
24 on your road trip (maybe Albuquerque, Las Vegas, Denver), in the or- der you want to visit them. Once you’ve got all your major stops en- tered, in order, have the iWAY start navigating. It will give you direc- tions to your friend's house, so go pick him up, and then head for the road.
25 Use the Routing 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 value 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.
26 Of course, the convenience of toll roads comes at a price. If you'd rather save some of the cost of travelling toll roads, consider setting the iWAY to generally Avoid toll roads (press and drag the T OLL R OADS slider to the right).
27 Categories Drawn The Categories Drawn command lets you choose how much of the map- ping detail available in our database you want shown on the screen. This information includes contacts, Points of Interest, cities, highways, etc. If you draw too much detail, your screen can feel cluttered.
28 Notes.
29 Section 3: Music Mode Operation This section addresses the unit's Music Mode operation. Music Mode is designed as a powerful but simple interface for playing back your music collection while navigating. If you'd rather skip ahead, you can look at Sec.
30 backlight settings and turn off the backlight. Turn off the unit by pressing and holding the POWER key for 3 seconds. Using the Touch Screen At the beginning of Sec. 2 we gave detailed instructions on how to in- teract with the iWAY's touch screen.
31 Music Mode always runs using a "play list," even if this consists of a single song. You can copy pre-made play list files from your PC to your iWAY and play the songs in these play lists by selecting them from the song browser.
32 Pause will stop the song currently playing but save its position (and its position in the current play list). When you pause a song, the Pause button is replaced by a Play button. Stop cancels the current song playing. Volume Slider adjusts the playback volume.
33 Music Mode Practice Run Start at your computer. You should already have some MP3 or Ogg Vor- bis music files available. If you need help ripping your CDs to these for- mats, consult the documentation for the CD ripper software. 1. Connect the iWAY to your computer using the USB transfer cable as described in Sec.
34 The Music Menu Any time you're using the iWAY in Music Mode you can press MENU to open a special Music Menu containing several settings and commands relating to Music Mode operation. You can use these settings to change the way iWAY plays back music.
35 Use the Browse Music Files screen to choose which songs to play next. From the music browser you can choose individual songs, play list files, or subfolders to play. Choose P LAY A LL to play all of the music files in the selected folder and its subfolders.
36 Visualization Effects – Waveform/Spectrum Analyzer The Visualization Area takes up the center of the Music Mode display and provides either a Waveform Analyzer or Spectrum Analyzer effect in time with the music that's playing. The visualization effects are controlled by a toggle button in the Music Menu.
37 Use the Equalizer to precisely control iWAY's audio playback. Significantly increasing any of the Equalizer levels may cause audio distortion. If you're having problems with audio distortion, decreasing the P REAMP level will probably resolve them.
38 Notes.
39 Section 4: Main Menu Options The iWAY has a Main Menu containing a handful of options and menus designed to let you customize the operation of your iWAY. To access the Main Menu, from either operation mode, press MENU and then choose M AIN M ENU from the options on-screen.
40 The Screen Setup Menu. Skin Selection Skin Selection allows you to change the visual appearance of the entire iWAY interface. We provide a handful of skins with the unit, and very advanced users can even generate their own and add them directly to the unit.
41 To increase your screen's brightness, press and drag the button on the slider bar to the right. To decrease it, press and drag the button to the left. Transparency The Transparency Slider controls the transparency of icons and other Overlays drawn over the background map, such as the Toolbar, and any navigation instruction boxes.
42 Press each of the targets in turn. After the third, the screen should be calibrated. The calibration screen will disappear, returning you to the Screen Setup Menu. You may want to use a stylus for more accurate calibration (or even the plunger of a ballpoint pen) – if you do, take ex- tra care not to scratch the touch screen.
43 time in snack stops along the way or the idle time spent in a traffic jam. If you're interested in complete details for this trip, set your threshold low (0 mph will monitor conditions all the time). If you'd prefer a more accurate average measure, raise the Threshold above idle speed.
44 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 quality of position lock your iWAY currently has. The button that's se- lected indicates your current position lock.
45 Reset Options To reset all customizable settings to their factory defaults, from the Main Menu choose R ESET O PTIONS . A dialog will pop up asking you if you're sure . Choose Y ES to proceed. Reset Options confirmation dialog. NOTE: Reset Options does not erase any of your contacts, or saved routes or trails .
46 To adjust Periodic Instruction frequency: Press and drag the blue button on the P ERIODIC I NSTRUCTION slider. Drag it to the right to increase the frequency of spoken instructions, or to the left to decrease it. Periodic Instructions are repeated at set intervals and, like the Instruc- tion at Halfway Mark, are intended as reminders.
47 To change any setting: simply tap the button next to the format you prefer. The button you select should become selected, and the previous format should become unselected. Safety Mode (On/Off) The iWAY has a Safety Mode to prevent vehicle drivers from operating the GPS while the vehicle is in motion.
48 Device Information From time to time, Lowrance updates the operating system software in some of its products. These software upgrades are usually offered to customers as free downloads from our web site, www.lowrance.com. These upgrades make the unit perform better or introduce a new fea- ture or function.
49 Section 5: 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.
50 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.
51 The other important button to notice is the one on the top right, D ONE . Push D ONE when the text field contains the information you want to en- ter. When you do this, the iWAY will sometimes provide you with a list of several options that closely resemble whatever information you en- tered.
52 For our example, though, we'll assume we're running low on gas and need the first gas station available, so we’ll just use the iWAY’s default Find By setting, N EAREST . The list of search results contains two entry fields at the top, and three columns across the bottom of the screen.
53 To use the Name Filter, press anywhere inside the N AME F ILTER field, and the virtual keyboard will appear. Type all or part of the name you are looking for, and press D ONE . The iWAY will return to the previous list, but it will only show those locations whose names contain the text you entered in the Name Filter field.
54 NOTE: There are several optional settings that control exactly how the iWAY generates its route. These options are discussed in detail in Sec. 4. See the heading "Route Options" there for more details.
55 quires only the number, and "Street" requires only the street's name (not identifiers such as "Ave."). To enter information in either of the text fields, simply press anywhere inside the field. 2. To enter an address number , press inside the A DDRESS field and the virtual keyboard will appear.
56 Find Address generates a list of possible matches. Choose the one you want. Of course, you already know how to use the Location 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.
57 More If you're looking for POIs, the More button provides a handy menu that divides the "Everything" POI list into eight subcategories. If you're searching for POIs in a particular category other than Gas and ATMs, Lodging or Restaurants, this can be a handy menu for narrowing sim- plifying your search.
58 The iWAY will return to the Find Streets menu, with the entered name showing in the First Street field. (In this example, it's 80th Street.) You can use the Intersections command to find a single street by en- tering a name and choosing Find First Street.
59 Choosing New Destinations while Navigating So far we've taught you all the ways to make the iWAY generate a route for you from scratch. No matter which method you use, the iWAY responds in the same way. It begins examining the roads between your current position, and your selected destination.
60 Following a Generated Route 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 magenta line on the map display, showing the route you're supposed to take.
61 As soon as you leave the iWAY's recommended course, it will begin generating a new route based on your new position. This will likely match the path you planned to take. Using Turn Preview and the Directions List Turn Preview and the Directions List are both described in Sec.
62 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.
