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. While navigating, a driver is responsible for noting all traffic signs and obeying all local traffic laws. When following turn-by-turn directions, a driver must take advantage of all available navigation tools, and must visually check to make sure a clear, safe path to the next destination is available.
WARNING!
When a GPS unit is used in a vehicle, the vehicle operator is solely responsible for operating the vehicle in a safe manner.
Vehicle operators must maintain full surveillance of all pertinent driving conditions at all times. An accident or collision resulting in damage to property, personal injury or death could occur if the operator of a GPS-equipped vehicle fails to pay full attention to travel conditions and vehicle operation while the vehicle is in motion.
Do not attempt to configure, adjust or enter information into your GPS unit while driving.

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. Before you grab the iWAY 600c ™ GPS unit and begin installing it, please give us a moment or two to explain how the manual can help you get the best performance from your mapping GPS receiver and MP3 music player. Our goal for this book is to get you on the road fast with a minimum of fuss.
The manual has been designed so you don't have to read the whole
thing from front to back for the information you want. At the start (or end) of each segment we will tell you what content is coming up next. If it's a concept you are already familiar with we will show you how and where to skip ahead for the next important topic. We have also made it easy to look up any tips you may need from time to time. Here's how:
The manual is organized into five sections. This preface will introduce you to GPS, your iWAY unit and the manual’s organization. The first section will help you install the iWAY in your vehicle. We also will show you how to use the USB cable to connect the iWAY to your PC.
We will finish by describing some of the available accessories.
Section 2 covers Mapping Mode Operation. It will show you how easy it is to run the iWAY right out of the box. This section features a onepage GPS Practice Run. If you have already jumped ahead and figured out how to install the unit yourself turn to the Map Mode Practice Run and head for the road with your GPS unit.
In Section 3 we leave Mapping mode and introduce you to Music Mode
Operation. The manual will explain everything you need to know about getting music into your iWAY, arranging the files on the unit and creating and using play lists. If you are in a hurry to get some music playing skip to the Music Practice Run.
Section 4 describes the Main Menu, the commands used to configure settings such as screen brightness, sound levels and units of measure.
We will also show you how to use features like the Trip Calculator.
Finally, in Section 5, the manual will go into detail on how to search for and navigate to points of interest, addresses and contacts you have created. We will also offer tips on how to understand and follow the automatic turn-by-turn routes you have created. Before we go any further we would like to take just a moment to explain how the iWAY works.
1
How Lowrance GPS and the GPS System Work
You will navigate a little easier if you understand the basics of how the iWAY scans the sky to show you where you are and where you are going. You will use the iWAY's touch screen and buttons to enter commands and control its functions.
As long as there is no interference − and the unit is locked on to a satellite signal − it will display your location on a moving map and help guide you to your destination. The power cord speaker allows you to hear verbal turn-by-turn driving instructions and listen to MP3 music files.
The internal antenna tunes in to a couple of dozen GPS (Global Positioning System) and WAAS satellites circling the earth. The unit listens to signals from as many satellites as it can "see" above the horizon then computes its location in relation to those satellites. The iWAY plots your position on the map display on-screen.
For the system to work the unit must have a clear view of the satellites.
Unlike radio or television signals, GPS works at very high frequencies.
These signals can be easily blocked by trees, buildings, an automobile roof, even your body.
The iWAY's hard drive contains highly detailed road and highway mapping data for Hawaii, Alaska, the 48 contiguous United States and most of Canada.
The iWAY 600c is the world's first portable navigation device with satellite imagery in full color. It's also the first automotive GPS to contain color satellite photos. This unit contains photos for more than 150 of the largest metropolitan areas in the United States and Canada.
When you're in an area covered by satellite photography, you can toggle the map display between road map view, satellite view or satellite view with map overlay. This function is controlled by the Map View button on the Map Display Toolbar.
If you would like to know more about GPS and its companion system
WAAS, visit our web site and check out the GPS Product Guide section
(www.lowrance.com/Support/gps.asp). It includes a GPS tutorial, frequently asked questions and a glossary.

Section 1:
Installation & Accessories
Information in this section includes how to connect the unit to your car's power, the unit's external connections and the various accessories included with the unit. This section also will explain some of the optional accessories available for the unit.
Power Cable
Since the unit does not have an internal battery the power cable will be used to provide power to the unit. Also, the unit does not have a builtin speaker, so all audio will be played through the power cable speaker.
The power cable is designed to plug into a car's cigarette lighter. An optional wall power adapter for home use is available.
Power cable-speaker (left) and optional wall power adapter (right) for indoor use.
To use the power cable, plug the cable's cigarette lighter adapter into the cigarette lighter receptacle. Then insert the other end of the cable into the power socket on the back of the unit.
External Connections
On the back of the unit are several connections for external cords. Use the power socket connection for the power cord. The external antenna socket is for attaching an optional external antenna module. The USB cable socket is used with the USB-to-PC cable cord. The USB-to-PC cable cord is for transferring music, pictures and other files to the unit.

External connections on the back of the iWAY ™ 600c.
NOTE:
Certain vehicles are equipped with special windshields containing metal in the glass. These models may prevent any GPS unit from receiving satellite signals and establishing a "lock." If the GPS will not navigate inside, test it outside the car. Also, confirm the windshield type by consulting your vehicle's owner's manual or the vehicle dealer. If the unit has difficulty receiving satellite signals you can use an optional external antenna. Some of these windshields have a specific location where the external antenna will work. Otherwise you must place the external antenna near a side window, a rear window or on the car exterior with the magnet mount. To buy an external antenna, see the accessory ordering information inside this manual's back cover.
The optional RAA-4 external antenna module.

Caution:
If you do not connect the external antenna to the unit correctly it could prevent the unit from receiving satellite signals with the external antenna. Also, do not mount in line with a radar antenna. Radar radiates high energy signals that can interfere with GPS signal reception.
USB-to-PC Cable Connect
The iWAY package includes a USB-to-PC cable so you can copy files from your computer to the unit's hard drive.
USB-to-PC cable connect.
Other Accessories

Getting Music on the iWAY
Use the USB-to-PC cable to connect the unit to a computer. Once connected, the unit can be treated like a removable disk. That means you can add new folders, rename folders or files, and copy and delete files the same way you would on a computer. Before copying music to the unit consider creating subfolders to sort the music by artist, album or genre. However you prefer to arrange your music.
Music Mode Display and On-Screen Commands
The Music Mode screen contains an area for visualization effects with a set of play control buttons along the right side and bottom of the main music screen.
WARNING:
Listening to music or even the verbal turn-by-turn instructions with headphones can seriously impede your ability to drive. Be sure to check your local laws before using headphones while driving.
All of the Music Mode commands are accessible on-screen. The unit will play MP3 and Ogg Vorbis. The unit will not recognize WMA music files. Whenever you switch to Music Mode the unit automatically searches the hard drive for the related media files.

Music Mode Practice Run
The following is a 10-step "Practice Run" that will walk you through the most basic Music Mode operations. Follow these steps to start listening to music files. Start at your home computer. You will need some
MP3 or Ogg Vorbis music files.
1. Connect the iWAY to your home computer using the USB-to-PC cable connect. Turn the unit on.
2. Your computer should read the iWAY as if it were an external device; just like a card reader or external hard drive. Browse to the iWAY on your computer. If you are using a PC you should open up My Computer and look for a drive named "iWay600c." If you are using a Mac, the iWAY should show up as a disc on the desktop. Now copy the music files to the unit by either "dragging or dropping" the files straight to the unit or you can "copy and paste" them. With Mac systems, when you are done "browsing", you should eject the disc before unplugging the unit from the computer; or you can turn off the iWAY. An easy way to eject the disc is to drag it to the trash.
3. Once the music files are copied, turn the unit off and disconnect the unit from the computer.
4. Move the unit to your vehicle and turn the unit on.
5. Press the
M AP /M USIC button and select Music Mode.
6. Touch the screen inside the Now Playing box to view the music files stored on the unit. Use the touch screen to highlight and select a song from the list. The song should begin playing.
7. If you haven’t changed the output mode, the audio should be playing through the power cord's built-in speaker or through headphones, if attached.

Route Via Destinations
While the unit is designed to generate a route from your current position to a selected destination, sometimes you will want more control over where you are going.
The Route Via Destinations command allows you to access the Routes menu where you can store and manage routes you have created. Creating a route lets you navigate to several different locations during a single trip. This option will guide you to each location in the route in a specific order.
27
Use the Routes list menu (left) to store and manage different routes.
The Edit Route screen, at right, shows the details of a stored route.
Each route contains different "legs." Each leg is a destination in the route. The Edit Route screen contains all of the routing controls for a generated route from the Routes list.
If you have arrived in an unfamiliar town on a business trip or vacation you can search through a list of nearest hotels, or a specific hotel, and have the unit create a route to the hotel. If you decide to visit a local attraction or restaurant you can add that to your route. To create a route the unit must find your current position. Once the unit has pin pointed your location, select
R OUTE V IA D ESTINATIONS
from Menu 1. This will bring up the Routes menu. Select
N EW R OUTE
and the Edit Route screen will appear.
From the Edit Route screen you have two options to choose from in order to find a specific location and begin to generate a route. Select either the
F ROM M AP
button or the
F ROM F IND
button. If you select
F ROM M AP the map screen will appear. Use the cursor arrow on-screen to select a specific location (or address) then press the
A DD
button on-screen. A dialog box will appear notifying you the location has been added to your route. You can continue to select and add other locations in this same manner.
Add to route button
The Add to route button is shown at left. When you select a location to add to a route you will see a dialog box like the one at right.
28
Once you have added all the locations in your route go back to the Route
Via Destinations menu and you should see the route you created in the
Routes list. To navigate the route, highlight it and select
START
from the bottom of the screen.
Another way to set up a route with multiple waypoints is to perform a search for a location, press
G O T O
, and begin navigating; then search for another location and press
G O T O
for that location. The unit will provide you with an option of detouring to that location, adding it to the beginning of the route, or setting it as a new final destination which would add it to the end of the route.
Detouring to a different location while navigating is explained under the heading "Choosing New Destination while Navigating" in Section 5.
To view the destinations in a particular route select
O PEN
and the Edit
Route screen will appear.
You will be able to see all the locations in a route in this screen. To delete a route from the Routes menu press
D ELETE
. If you select
F ROM F IND in the Edit Route screen the Find menu will appear. In this menu you can search for a desired destination by Category and Subcategory.

U P
and
D OWN buttons in the Edit Route screen to move a highlighted waypoint higher or lower in the list.
The other Edit Route screen buttons and their function:
Use the Direct To button in the Edit Route screen to go directly to any "leg" in a route. Highlight a specific leg from the route and press
D IRECT T O
and the unit will begin navigating to that destination (or leg).
When you highlight a specific "leg" in a route, and press the
V IEW V IA
button in the Edit Route screen, it will bring up the POI Information screen. The POI
Information screen provides information about that particular leg. In the POI Information screen you can view the Directions List for that leg, view that leg on the map screen by pressing the
F IND O N M AP
button or you can add that leg to your Address Book by pressing the
A DD TO A D-
DRESSBOOK
button.
30
If you want to remove a "leg" from a route in the
Edit Route screen, highlight the entry and press the
R EMOVE V IA button. The destination (leg) will be removed from that particular route.
If you prefer, the unit can generate a route for you among several locations even if you don't know which order you want to go in. Enter all of the destinations in any order then press the
A UTO S ORT
button located at the bottom of the Edit Route screen.
The unit will organize the list of locations to create the shortest possible route. This can be useful if you are on a business trip and need to visit several clients at different locations. Put in all their addresses, choose
A UTO S ORT
and then let the unit pick the shortest path.
Cancel Navigation
When you have reached your destination the unit will display a dialog box asking if you want to cancel navigation.
Select
Y
ES
to stop receiving navigation instructions.
You can also cancel navigation to a destination at any time using the
Cancel Navigation command. From Menu 1 select
C N
AVIGATION
.

Again the unit will display a dialog box to confirm your choice. Choose
Y
ES
and the unit will stop generating navigation instructions to the current destination.
The Cancel Navigation Warning dialog box at left. When navigating a route with multiple destinations, and you choose to cancel your route, you will see the warning dialog box shown at right.
If you are navigating a route with multiple destinations, when you choose Cancel Navigation, the unit will give you a choice to cancel navigation of the entire route or cancel navigation to the current destination and continue on to the next destination in the route.
31
Routing Options
Routing Options are used to control exactly how the unit generates a route from your current position to a selected destination.
When generating a route, the unit can analyze certain types of roads or turns and adjust their value to prefer or avoid them. Preferred road types will occur more often in your routes. The unit will deliberately try to take those types of roads.
The Avoid on Routes screen.
Roads or turns that you choose to Avoid will show up less, although the unit may have to generate a longer route to avoid them. The three slide controls in the Avoid on Routes screen allow you to control how much you want to avoid or prefer the associated options when generating a route. The farther you move the slider to the left or right, the more it will affect the routes generated by the unit.
If you change these values significantly and notice the unit has begun generating poor routes try using the
R ESET TO D EFAULTS
button to see if that helps. You can use the
R ECALCULATE R OUTE
button to automatically generate a new route to the same destination using the new preferences. Take advantage of this option when you are trying to learn the right amount of avoidance to make sure the unit gives you what you want.
Avoid Cross-Traffic Turns
Use this option to avoid turns across busy lanes of traffic. The unit will not avoid cross-traffic turns at major intersections where you will likely have a protected turn at a traffic light. Sometimes you would have to drive miles out of your way to avoid taking a cross-traffic turn somewhere in your route. Then again, sometimes it's worth it. Practice with this setting to find the value that's right for your driving experience.
32
Prefer/Avoid Toll Roads
By default, toll roads have a fairly high value in routes generated by the unit because they are usually quality roads with high speed limits allowing you to get where you are going faster. If you would like to save on the cost of traveling toll roads consider setting the unit to generally
Avoid toll roads by pressing and dragging the
T OLL R OADS
slider to the right. If you want to drive free drag the slider all the way to the right and the unit will not use toll roads at all. If you prefer the convenience of toll roads, and don't mind the cost, you can give them an even greater value by pressing and dragging the slider to the left.
Prefer/Avoid Interstates
Interstate Highways may not be as expensive to travel as toll roads but sometimes the stress of merging and exiting, combined with the high speed, make interstates less attractive – especially for short trips across town. The default setting is designed to avoid Interstates for very short trips but if you feel like it's sending you to the highway too often try setting the unit to Avoid Interstates. Press and drag the
I NTER-
STATES
slider to the right. Like toll roads, you might prefer the speed of
Interstate travel. You can set the unit to prefer Interstates by pressing and dragging the slider to the left.
Turn Preview
The Turn Preview checkbox allows you to select whether or not the unit displays a Turn Preview screen whenever you approach a turn in your route. A Turn Preview is designed to prepare you for upcoming turns.
You can access the Turn Preview for any turn in a route by going to the
Directions list.
A Turn Preview screen is shown above. If you are navigating in one of the two satellite map modes, the turn preview will still look like the above figure. The Turn Preview screen will not show your turn using satellite imagery. The Turn Preview screen always shows your turn in the regular map screen mode.
33
As shown in the previous figure, the Turn Preview screen includes a close-up map of the turn itself and a magenta line showing your path.
Additional data boxes show the text instruction, the distance from your current location to the turn, the direction of the turn and the total distance from the turn to the end of the route. If you want the unit to automatically show you Turn Previews whenever you are navigating make sure
T URN P REVIEW
is checked in the Avoid on Routes screen. You can turn this feature off by unchecking the box. The Turn Preview screen will not show your turn using satellite imagery. The Turn Preview screen always shows your turn in the regular map screen mode.

The Estimated Position Error (EPE) represents the expected error from a benchmark location. If the EPE shows 50 feet, then the position shown by the unit is estimated to be within 50 feet of the actual location. The smaller the position error number, the more accurate the satellites fix.
Satellite Display
The Satellite Display, located on the right side of the Satellites screen, is a circle that serves as a graphical view of the satellites overhead.
Each satellite is shown on the circular chart relative to your position.
The GPS receiver is tracking satellites that are in light blue type. The receiver hasn't locked onto a satellite if the number is in dark blue.
Lat/Lon Coordinates
The Satellites page shows your coordinates in latitude and longitude.
These numbers can be used to pinpoint your location on any map or to create contacts at your position on another GPS unit.

Section 5:
Searching, Finding and Navigating
The unit's most important function is generating routes to help you get from where you are to where you want to go. There are several ways to do this. The easiest is the
G O T O
command in the POI Information or
Location Information screen. Use the map cursor to select any location on the map and press the Location Information button located in the top right corner of the map screen.
In the POI Information screen select
G O T O
. The unit will generate a route. The route will be highlighted by a magenta line on the map screen. While the Go To command is an easy way to generate a route, several other options are available. To access these options press the
FIND
button on the right side of the unit. This will bring up the first of four Find screens.
The Find 1 menu, left, and the Find 2 menu, at right.
The Find 3 menu, left, and the Find 4 menu, at right.
All the options in the Find menus point to a database of POIs stored in the unit's hard drive. All the Find menus give you the option of searching through a number of different categories. Gas, Banks, ATMs, Lodging and even Restaurants have been divided into their own categories.
49
No matter which Find category you choose, you will be able to search for places nearest your current position or cursor – if the cursor is active on-screen – or to search for specific locations by name. While the
Address feature allows you to enter a street address and navigate directly to it, the Address Book feature allows you to save and then search through a list of address entries saved in the unit.
Almost any location can be saved in the Address Book as long as the unit recognizes the location’s address. When you find an address you want to save, choose
A DD TO A DDRESSBOOK
in the POI Information or Location Information screen and it will be stored in the Address Book.
Using the Virtual Keyboard
The search options in the various Find menus will require you to enter certain kinds of data, such as a shop name, address, State or Province.
You will use a virtual keyboard to enter letters, numbers and symbols.
When prompted to enter keyboard information, the keyboard will appear. The header of each Find Address screen will display what type of information to enter. Notice the button in the bottom right corner of the
Find Address keyboard,
N UM /S YM
, which stands for Numbers/Symbols.
Use this button to toggle between the letters and numbers keyboard.
The "letters" keyboard is shown at left. The "numbers" keyboard is shown at right.
Push
D ONE
when the text field contains the information you want to enter. When you do, the unit will sometimes provide a list with more than one location that closely resembles the information you entered.
Scroll through the list of addresses provided by the unit and choose your desired destination by highlighting and selecting it.
Auto Complete feature
The unit has an Auto Complete feature. Before you finish entering the name of a state or province the unit may generate a list of possible choices for you.
50
In the following two figures the letter "A" was entered. When the letter
"L" was entered next, the unit came up with a list that included Alabama, Alaska and Alberta. Highlight and select your choice from the generated list.
In the Find Address screen at left the letter "A" was entered. When the letter "L" was selected the Auto Complete feature generated the list of locations in the right figure.
Find Address
To search for a location by address, press the
A DDRESS
button in the
Find 1 screen. The Find Address screen will appear with the word
"Choose" on-screen. Press
C HOOSE
and a keyboard will appear. Use the keyboard to enter the name of a State or Province. The auto complete feature may generate a list of choices for you before you finish making your entry. If the Auto Complete feature does not generate a list of choices, press
D ONE
when you have finished making your entry. Once the unit has determine what State or Province you want to search in, another keyboard will appear. In this screen you will enter a City or
ZIP code. When the unit has determined what city you wish to search in, it will prompt you to enter an address.
When the Choose button (left) is selected a keyboard (right) will appear. This screen allows you to enter a specific State/Province by name. To return to the previous screen press X or when you have finished entering your choice, press Done.
51
The unit will ask you to enter a City or ZIP code, far left. Press
"Choose" and a keyboard (center) will appear. Once you have entered the City or ZIP code another screen (right) will appear asking you to enter an address.
When you have entered an address, the unit will sometimes provide a list with more than one address that closely resembles the one you are searching for. Scroll through the list of addresses provided by the unit and choose your desired destination by highlighting and selecting it onscreen.
When you have entered an address a dialog box (left) will appear stating, "Finding street address. Please wait." Once the unit has found the address it will prompt you to choose one of three options: Add to Addressbook, Find on Map or Go To.
Once the unit has determined the exact address, a dialog box will appear with three choices: Add to Addressbook, Find on Map or Go To. If you select
G O T O
the unit will generate a route to your selected address.
Selecting
A DD TO A DDRESSBOOK
will place the address in the unit's Address Book.
If you select
F IND ON M AP
the unit will show the location on the map display. Any time you perform an on-screen search with the map cursor, by default, the distances listed for search results will be calculated from the cursor position and not your current position.
To see an alphabetical list of states, provinces or countries leave the
Country or State/Province selection box empty and press
D ONE
. Use the slider to scroll through the list.
52
Fuel, Lodging, Restaurants and other POIs
Most of the options in the Find menus work essentially the same. We will use the
G AS
command as an example but you can follow essentially the same steps to locate and navigate to any POI stored in the unit.
To find a nearby gas station:
1. Press the
F IND
button on the right side of the unit.
2. Select
G AS
from the Find 1 screen. A screen will appear with a list of gas stations nearest to your current position. Wait a moment for the unit to finish compiling the list.
3. Highlight and select a gas station from the list. Once you make your selection the POI Information screen will appear.
4. Now select
G O T O
from the POI Information screen and the unit will generate a route to the gas station.
Use the Gas command in the Find 1 menu to locate the nearest gas station. The Nearest To Current Position screen (left) will appear. Scroll through the list and select a gas station. The POI Information screen
(right) will appear. Select Go To and the unit will generate a route to the gas station.
The unit has several ways to perform searches. If you are navigating, the unit searches for locations nearest to your current route. If you have the cursor on-screen the unit will search for locations nearest to the cursor.
If you are not navigating, and do not have the cursor on-screen, the unit will search for locations near your current position. You can choose a specific search setting by pressing the
F
IND
B
Y
button in the bottom left corner of the Nearest To Current Position screen.
53
The Nearest To Current Position screen's Find By menu allows you to search for a location by Name Entry, Near Current Location or Near
Cursor.
The Find By menu allows you to search for a location by Name Entry,
Near Current Location or Near Cursor. Searching for a specific name allows you to find the closest Texaco or Shell gas station depending on your preference. It is often used in restaurant searches.
Using the Name Filter
Sometimes a search returns too many results or more results than you feel like scrolling through. The Name Filter in the Nearest To Current
Position screen can help you narrow your search. To use the Name Filter, press the
N
AME
F
ILTER
field and a keyboard will appear. Type all or part of the name you are looking for and press
D
ONE
.
The unit 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. For example, you could significantly narrow a search by entering the word "Taco" in the Name Filter field. This returns results for all the nearest Taco Bells, Taco Buenos and any other restaurant nearby with
"Taco" anywhere in the name, as shown in the following figures.
To search for a specific restaurant by name, press in the Name Filter field, left figure. Search results for the word "Taco" are shown at right.
54
You can also use the Sub-Category field to narrow your search. Press the arrow button next to Entire Category and a drop down box will appear allowing you to choose a specific restaurant type. The Sub-
Category feature works the same in almost all the Find menus.
Use the Sub-Category feature to help narrow your search. In this figure, you can see the sub-category list for the Restaurants search screen in the Find 1 menu.
Navigating to a Selected POI
When the unit returns a list of nearest POIs choose the one that you desire and touch its line on-screen. The unit will display a POI Information screen with details about the location you have selected. Since this is the result of a POI search, the POI Information screen will likely have the name of the POI, its street address and probably even a phone number. That can help when calling ahead to get a table at a restaurant. Much more important are the Go To and Find On Map commands.
Select
F IND O N M AP
to have the unit close the POI Information screen and center the map on the selected POI. This will help when trying to determine where a POI is in relation to your current position or to some other part of town. If want to go directly to the POI press
G T O
.
O
The iWAY will generate a route from your current position, or last known position if it doesn't have a satellite lock, to the selected destination.
Recent Destinations
The Recent Destinations command in the Find 1 menu will provide a list of your most recent destinations. If the destination has an onscreen symbol the list will show its street address whenever possible.
You can use the Find Recent menu to quickly get back on your route if you diverted to POI along the way or to navigate back and forth between two locations on a common commute.
55
The Find Recent screen is shown at left. When one of the recent destination entries is highlighted and selected the Recent Destination Information (right) screen appears.
Address Book
Address Book allows you to navigate to contacts you have saved. To save a contact, use the Location Information or POI Information screen and select
A DD TO A DDRESSBOOK
. Contact creation is explained under the heading "Creating and Saving Contacts" in Section 2. Once you have saved an address select
A DDRESS B OOK
in the Find 1 menu.
The Find By Name menu will appear allowing you to enter the saved contact's name or you can scroll through your address book using the slide tool. You can also use the Find By Name field to search through your entire Address Book.
Intersection
Use the Intersection command from the Find 3 menu to navigate to any street intersection stored in the unit. This can be useful when you don't have a specific street address. When
I NTERSECTION
Streets screen will appear. Now select will appear.
C HOOSE
is selected, the Find
and the virtual keyboard
When you have entered the name of the first street the unit will ask for the name of the second street. Use the keyboard to enter the name of the second street. Once the second street name has been entered press
Done and the unit will begin searching for the intersection.
56
Use the keyboard to enter the name of the first street. Enter the name of the street without direction or street type modifiers such as "N." for
"North" or "Ave." for Avenue. When finished entering the street name, press
D ONE
. Another Find Streets screen will appear asking you to enter the name of the second street. Press
C HOOSE
and use the virtual keyboard to enter the name of the second street. When you press
D ONE
a dialog box will appear stating, "Finding street address. Please wait."
If the unit is not able to locate the intersection you are searching for a dialog box will appear telling you it was unable to locate the intersection. When the unit finds the intersection you are searching for a dialog box will appear stating, "Please choose an option." You will have three options: Add to Addressbook, Find on Map or Go To.
Choosing New Destinations while Navigating
No matter which method the unit uses to generate a route it responds the same. It generates a route from your current position to a chosen destination. If you select an alternate destination or a new destination while driving − whether you use the cursor on-screen or the Address feature in the Find menu − a dialog box will appear asking, "Which
would you like to do?"
You will have three choices: Detour here, New final destination or Cancel old navigation. Make your selection and the unit will generate a route to the alternate destination. Once you have reached your destination a dialog box will appear asking, "Do you want to cancel your
route?" This feature can be useful when you are traveling to a destination and want to stop for lunch along the way. Search for the nearest restaurant, detour to the restaurant and then the unit will automatically switch back to your original destination.
A dialog box will appear on-screen when you select a new destination while navigating.
57
Detour here will make the unit immediately navigate to the new selected location. Once you arrive, the unit will resume navigating to your original destination.
New final destination will add the new location to the end of the current route. So, if you are navigating to a nearby restaurant and choose to set a gas station as your
New Final Destination, the unit will direct you to the restaurant first and send you to the gas station after you have finished eating.
Cancel old navigation will stop navigating to your original destination and start navigating to the new location.
Considering Temporary or Local Conditions
Unfortunately, the unit cannot be aware of any temporary or local conditions that could affect your course. Short-term construction, traffic jams or local bans on U-turns could affect a generated route.
If you are following a route and conditions make it impossible or inconvenient to follow the routing instructions use your best judgment.
When you deviate from your route the unit will begin generating a new one based on your new position.
This feature will help when dealing with unexpected local conditions.
The most important step in learning how to follow generated routes is practice. Use the unit as often as possible and pay attention to the way it "thinks." In time you will learn exactly how to get the most out of the information provided by the unit.

Section 6:
Point-to-Point Navigation
The iWAY 600 C 's primary job is providing turn-by-turn road navigation, but it can also display plot trails and perform traditional straight-
line or point-to-point navigation in off road situations.
This section will explain how to operate the unit in point-to-point navigation mode and how to use the two additional map sets described below. In this section, we assume you already have a basic understanding of the buttons, menus and turn-by-turn functions.
In addition to the turn-by-turn NAVTEQ ™ road maps, the hard drive also contains NauticPath ™ USA marine coastal charts and MapCreate ™ topographical maps for North America. The MapCreate series 7 data contains thousands of inland lakes with bottom contours and other underwater details.
Turn-by-turn navigation does not work with any of these optional point-to-point map sets.
NOTE:
When using Standard (MapCreate) or NauticPath map data, you must search for POIs with the
S
EARCH
A
LL
POI
S BY
N
AME
button. The other search categories do not work with these point-to-point maps.
On the map, if a symbol for a POI or other item is selected with the cursor, pressing the Location Information button displays a POI information screen for that item.
Caution:
The iWAY 600 C is designed for primary use inside automobiles, but the waterproof case and point-to-point navigation make it suitable for the outdoors. However, the automotive mounting bracket is not designed for boats, motorcycles or off-road vehicles. These installation types require an optional bracket and cradle designed for rugged outdoor use.
If you are interested in outdoor mounts, see the accessory ordering information inside this manual's back cover.
About Straight-line Navigation Mode (Point-to-Point)
You have probably heard the old adage, "The shortest distance between two points is a straight line." Well, that's exactly what straight-line navigation is. It allows you to create a straight-line navigation course between yourself and another point on the map screen.
59
The iWAY's Point-to-Point mode uses straight-line navigation, the original method used by the Global Positioning System. This function is handy when you want to find a map feature, waypoint or point of interest on a lake, in coastal waters or in off-road areas where turn-by-turn won't work. Point-to-Point mode does not include audible voice directions.
Switch Between Navigation Modes
To change to Point-to-Point mode, press the
M ENU
key, then select
M ENU
3
and press the
N AVIGATION M ODE
button to display the Navigation Mode screen.
Select the Navigation Mode button in Menu 3 to access the Navigation
Mode screen. The Navigation Mode screen allows you to switch between the unit's two different navigation modes.
Turn-by-Turn (car image) is selected as the default setting. Choose
Point-to-Point (A to B image), and a warning message appears asking if you are sure you want to change modes. Choose
Y ES
and close the Navigation Mode screen.
NOTE:
When you switch to line navigation, there is no need to change settings in the Map Data pull-down menu unless you are using nautical charts or lake contours. Select NauticPath map data when you want to use coastal charts. Select Standard (MapCreate) map data when you want to see enhanced underwater detail for select lakes.
Switching back to Point-to-Point mode will automatically select
Turn-by-Turn Map Data.
WARNING:
When displaying straight-line navigation data to a position (waypoint) a GPS unit will show the shortest, most direct path. The unit provides navigation data to the waypoint regardless of obstructions.
60
Therefore, the prudent navigator will not only take advantage of all available navigation tools when traveling to a waypoint, but will also visually check to make sure a clear, safe path to the waypoint is always available.
Straight-line Navigation Commands
There are two basic commands used for straight-line navigation: Go To
Cursor and Go To Waypoint. The Go To Cursor command will guide you to any spot, landscape feature or waypoint you select on the map with the cursor arrow.
The Go To Waypoint command works with the iWAY 600 Address Book feature. This command lets you look up waypoints you have created and saved, then takes you to them. (This also works for commercial
Points of Interest (POIs). In fact, you can launch straight-line navigation to anything you can look up with the Find key.)
But before you head off into the woods on your ATV, or across the lake in your boat, it's important that you understand the term "waypoint."
Why? To navigate back to your trailhead or boat ramp, you must first mark the spot by making a waypoint there.
Waypoints = Contacts
If you have been creating contacts and adding them to the Address
Book in turn-by-turn mode, you already understand the waypoint concept. A turn-by-turn "contact" is actually a "waypoint" in point-to-point mode, and vice versa. The Address Book in your iWAY is essentially a waypoint list with additional features, like places to record street addresses or phone numbers. All navigation modes in this unit share the same Address Book for storing contacts/waypoints.
"Waypoint" is the term originally used in GPS to mark a spot. It's the word still commonly used in all straight-line GPS navigation. A waypoint is similar to an electronic "address" based on the latitude and longitude of a position on the earth. A waypoint represents a location or destination that you can store in the unit's memory and recall later for navigational purposes.
Set a Waypoint
Turn on the iWAY. Wait until it locks-on to the satellites and determines your position.
Create Waypoint at Current Position
Press the
L OCATION I NFORMATION
button in the upper right corner of the screen. This calls up the Waypoint Information screen. Select
A DD TO

to create and save the waypoint. The Edit Contact (Waypoint) screen appears. You can accept the default name and symbol, edit them, or just select
X
to close the screen.
Waypoint Information screen, left. Edit screen for this waypoint, right.
(If you do want to change the waypoint name, symbol or any of the other information boxes, simply touch anywhere inside the relevant box and the iWAY's virtual keyboard will appear. This allows you to enter new information or modify the old.)
With your starting place safely marked with a waypoint, you can now head off on your outdoor adventure. Whenever you find a spot you may want visit again, use the Location Information button to set a waypoint there.
Create Waypoint on Map
Let's say you're headed for a place you've never been before, but you know approximately where it is on a map. You can use the cursor and the Location Information button to set a waypoint there so you can navigate to it.
Touch the screen to launch the Map Display Toolbar and the cursor arrow. Use the cursor and the Zoom In and Zoom Out buttons to move around the map and find where you want to go. Zoom in close and center the point of the cursor on your destination.
Press the
L OCATION I NFORMATION
button in the upper right corner of the map screen. This calls up the Waypoint Information screen. Select
A DD
TO A DDRESSBOOK
to create and save the waypoint. The Edit Waypoint screen appears. As before, you can change the name and symbol or just accept the defaults. Select
X
to close the screen and select the
C

button to clear the cursor and toolbar from the screen.
LEAR C UR-
62
Navigate To a Waypoint
Find and Go To Waypoint
Unless you happen see the waypoint nearby on the map, the fastest way to navigate to a waypoint is to look it up in the Address Book by using the Find button.
Press the
F IND
key, then choose
A DDRESS B OOK
. You can look up the waypoint one of three ways:
Method A: If you have several waypoints, drag the slider bar to scroll down the list and select the waypoint. Or, just tap the up and down arrow buttons.
Method B: To search by name, touch the
F IND BY N AME
box to launch the virtual keyboard. This allows you to enter the waypoint name (or just enough of it) to find it in the Address Book.
Method C: Choose the
F IND B Y
button, which gives you the option to search by name or narrow the search by looking near your current location or near the cursor location.
When you find and select the desired waypoint, the Waypoint Information screen appears. Choose
G O T O
and the iWAY draws a red course line straight from your current position to the waypoint. We'll describe how to use the course line for guidance in a few moments in the segment on "Following Navigation Indicators."
Go To Cursor
The Go To Cursor command is handy for navigating to a waypoint you can see nearby on the map. If you don't need to move the map around, you can be navigating with just five finger strokes.
1. Touch the screen to call up the toolbar and cursor.
2. Select the waypoint with the cursor.
3. Press the
L OCATION I NFORMATION
button in the corner.
4. Choose
G O T O
.
5. Press the
C LEAR C URSOR
button (

63
Navigating with the Go To Cursor command. At left, the boater has selected a waypoint (fish symbol) with the cursor and started navigating. The figure at right shows the straight-line navigation course after the cursor and toolbar have been cleared from the screen.
The Go To Cursor command is extremely powerful because it's not limited to waypoints — it can navigate you to any place you can pick out on the map. It doesn't matter if your destination is a waypoint, a POI, a landscape feature or just a spot in the middle of a lake. Just move around the map to find the place, then use the same commands above
(starting with step 2) to select and go to it.
Following Navigation Indicators
Your iWAY provides a slightly different set of steering indicators in point-to-point mode. The map still moves as you travel. The black current position arrow still points in the direction you are headed. But, the textual and audible turn instructions are gone.
Course Line
Text and audio instructions have been replaced with the red course line, which is shown in the preceding two figures. When you navigate somewhere, an "S" symbol is placed at your starting position, and your destination is highlighted. The course line connects the start and destination.
The simplest way to guide yourself is to zoom in closely, then steer so that the current position arrow moves along the course line. When you reach your destination, remember to tell the unit to stop navigating.
Press the
M ENU
key and select the
C ANCEL N AVIGATION
button.
Steering Arrow and other Overlay Data
As in turn-by-turn mode, you can display different types of navigation information as Overlay Data. Some overlay categories do not work the same in point-to-point mode, but there are several data types that will help you steer in roadless areas. One of the easiest to use is the Steering Arrow overlay.
64
Navigating to a fishing spot using course line and Overlay Data boxes, seen in lower right corner. From top to bottom, they are: bearing, course, track, off course and steering arrow/distance.
The Steering Arrow overlay is a graphical arrow showing which way to steer to the destination. It always points straight toward the destination, regardless of the map orientation. The steer arrow automatically shows the distance from the current position to the destination.
In the example figure above, the boat is headed straight toward a fishing spot, so the steering arrow is pointing straight ahead.
Select an overlay data item (left) to display its information screen.
In addition to the steer arrow, the most commonly used Overlay Data for point-to-point navigation are described below:
Track: The actual direction you are traveling over the ground. Shown in degrees in true or magnetic format.
Bearing: The direction to the current destination from your current position, shown in degrees true or magnetic. Steer so your Track matches the
Bearing and you will be headed straight for your destination.
65
Course: The direction you should be traveling to reach your destination when you are on the original course line.
Off Course (Pos Error): The distance (to the left or to the right) from the course line.
Steer so your Track, Bearing and Course match, and you will be headed straight for your destination along your original course.
Navigating With Trails
Displaying and editing trails are discussed earlier in this manual under the topics Categories Drawn and My Trails. The following instructions will show you how to navigate with trails.
The Trails feature is always turned on in this unit, and it works in both point-to-point and turn-by-turn modes. However, trails are especially useful in off-road or marine situations. They help you retrace your steps where no roads exist for reference.
A trail, or plot trail, is a history of the path you have taken. This travel history is represented by a line extending from the back of the current position arrow. As you move, the unit draws this line by recording or plotting a string of trail points along your path. The iWAY's built-in memory can save 100 trails, with up to 10,000 points recorded per trail. (The default setting is 2,000 points per trail.) When trail length exceeds the maximum point setting, the iWAY will begin recording a trail over itself.
You can save a set of up to 100 trails in a GPS data file (*.usr file format) on the unit's hard drive. The trails can then be deleted from the unit's memory and you can record a new set of trails to save in another
GPS data file. With a USB connection, these GPS data files can also be backed up on a computer hard drive.
NOTE:
GPS data files, also referred to as "user files," can contain trails, routes and the waypoints (contacts) in your Address Book. Maximum capacity per file is 1,000 waypoints, 100 routes and 100 trails.
These files can by opened by our MapCreate custom mapping software, or by our GPS Data Manager program. These programs allow you to view and edit GPS data on the computer screen. The GPS
Data Manager can be downloaded free from www.lowrance.com
.
GPS data files containing trails can then be reloaded from the unit's hard drive to iWAY's memory. By backing up your GPS data, you can keep different sets of trails, routes and waypoints for different purposes. For example, a substitute school bus driver could record trails of
66
all the bus routes he drives in one file for work. Another file could contain personal GPS data for fishing or vacation travel.
Hunter on ATV Trail line
Recording a trail in a roadless area. This hunter can retrace his path from parking area to hunting stand even in the dark.
In the example figure above, a hunter is riding an all terrain vehicle
(ATV) from a parking area (waypoint 002, the car symbol) to a hunting stand (waypoint 003). The hunter is first making his approach in daylight and recording a trail which he will save. Then he can safely retrace his path through the woods before dawn and after dusk.
If you want to preserve a specific trail from Point A to Point B, you should first create a new trail at Point A. Go to
M ENU 2 then press the
N EW T RAIL
, select
M Y T RAILS
,
button. (In the example shown below, any old trails have been deleted and a new trail is already started.)
The My Trails button on Menu 2 (left figure) calls up the Trails Menu
(right) where you can create, edit or delete trails.
When you arrive at Point B, stop recording and save the trail you just made. This happens automatically when you start another trail with the
N EW T RAIL
button.
67

At left, Trails Menu with Trail 1 ready to record. The Active symbol shows that any travel will be recorded in this, the active trail. At right, selecting New Trail button automatically stops recording and saves
Trail 1 by creating Trail 2 and making Trail 2 active.
There are two ways to guide yourself with a saved trail: Visual Trailing and the Navigate Trail command.
Visual Trailing is the simplest. It works when you follow a trail forward (from beginning to end) or backward (from end to beginning).
Zoom in closely on the map so the trail is clearly visible. Begin moving and glance at the map screen. Steer so that your current position arrow traces along the trail you have saved.
The Navigate Trail command converts a trail into a route and then shows navigation information along the route. Since the unit is actually performing point-to-point navigation, the Steer Arrow and other Overlay Data are working and can give you guidance.
Go to

Boat is still tracking 321 °, but bear- ing overlay now shows point three is 269 ° away. Steer arrow also swings left, showing which way to turn. Fig. 3 shows boat has turned on new course. Boat track is 268 ° which now matches the bearing to point three which is 0.36 mile away. Steer arrow points straight ahead.
Simply running the Navigate Trail command will lead you along a trail from starting point to ending point — forward order. You can also back
track a trail, or follow it in reverse order (from ending point to starting point.) However, this requires you to manually edit the route to change the point order.
To back track, you begin with the same steps for navigating a trail forward. When you get to the Edit Route menu, you must change the route order. The following figures will guide you through the process:
Step 1 Step 2
1. Select the N
AME
box and use the virtual keyboard to change the route name from "(Trail 1)" to "(Trail 1 Reverse)". Changing the name helps you tell a forward route from a reversed route. The parentheses ( ) indicate this route was made from a trail. 2. Select point 1 and press the
D OWN
button to move it to the bottom of the list.

Step 3 Step 4
3. Point 1 is now half-way down the list. It should be at the bottom, just above the text "(Add to list)". 4. Use the U
P
and D
OWN
buttons to move the points until they are all in reverse order, with the original end point at the top of the list. With the end point selected, press the D

button and navigation begins.
NauticPath ™ USA Marine Electronic Charts
NauticPath ™ USA map data provides electronic charts covering the
U.S. East and West coasts, Hawaii, Gulf coast, Great Lakes, Alaska, the Bahamas, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
NauticPath features depth contours, intertidal zones and spot soundings, navigational aids with view range and coverage. You can view extensive object-oriented detail including list of lights, tides and currents, wrecks and obstructions, marine services, restricted areas and anchorage database information.

Reading NauticPath Map Information
Use the cursor on the map screen to highlight a map feature or symbol and a pop-up information box appears identifying the item. Certain symbols offer additional information.
For example, use the cursor to select a chart symbol, then press the
I NFORMATION
button in the top right corner of the map screen. A screen appears with detailed information about the selected item. Information for almost any on-screen symbol can be accessed as long as you are able to highlight it with the cursor.
The Port Aransas, Texas tide symbol in the left figure has been highlighted with the cursor. In the right figure the Information button has been selected to view tidal information for that station.
The cursor has selected the Aransas Pass tidal current station. Pressing the Information button calls up the tidal current table.
71
The cursor has been used to highlight a shipwreck symbol, and a popup box appeared describing the selected item. The Information button was then selected to view waypoint information on the wreck.
The cursor has selected the Port Aransas Municipal Harbor marina symbol. In the right figure the Information button has been selected to view information on the marina, including available amenities.
Enhanced Lake Maps
The Standard map data is based on our MapCreate series 7 software which covers all 50 states in the U.S.A. The data includes land-based topographic contour lines, public hunting areas and depth contours for more than 3,000 U.S. inland lakes.
72
These figures show the lake detail included in the enhanced lake maps. More detail appears as you zoom in. This is a man-made lake; these examples clearly show the submerged river and stream channels that formed the lake.
In addition to underwater contour features, these lake maps show enhanced shoreline features, small islands and various bottom structures.
Underwater features on man-made lakes reflect conditions prior to inundation of the lake. Each depth contour line is labeled with its actual depth.
With enhanced lake maps you can identify submerged structures such as rivers and creek channels, ponds, streams, roads, foundations, railroads, pipelines, oil and gas wells, foundations, bridges, etc. However, the amount of detail varies from one lake to another. All lakes do not have this enhanced detail.
Fishermen will appreciate that underwater features, such as bridges, old creek channels, roads and other items, can be identified by using the cursor. Select a lake feature with the cursor and a pop up box appears, identifying the feature. An old house foundation is shown.
73
Elevation Contour Lines
Topographic information is displayed as major and minor contour lines with numbers showing the elevation above sea level.
At left, different colors mark parks and public hunting areas. At right, topo contours and the border of a game refuge are shown. Cursor has selected a contour line, launching a pop-up box showing the elevation.
Topographic contour lines are available when the Turn-by-Turn or
Standard map data sets are selected. To turn them on, you must press the
MENU
key, then press
M ENU 2
and select the
C ATEGORIES D RAWN
button. Scroll down the list and check
E LEVATION
to turn on topo line display.
You must turn on Elevation in Categories Drawn to see topo lines. At left, elevation is off; at right the feature is on.
