iv 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 prohib- ited 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 tu rn-by-turn GPS navigation. Before you grab the iWAY 600c ™ GPS unit and begin i.
2 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 go- ing. You will use the iWAY's touch screen and buttons to enter com- mands and control its functions.
3 Section 1: Installation & Accessories Information in this section includes how to connect the unit to your car's power, the unit's external conne ctions and the various accessories included with the unit. This section also will explain som e of the op- tional accessories available for the unit.
4 External connections on the ba ck 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.
5 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 an- tenna. Radar radiates high energy signals that can interfere with GPS signal reception.
6 rect cleaning is not covered by the warranty. We strongly rec- ommend you only use a microfiber towel to clean the unit's screen. Mounting Brackets Mounting brackets are available fo r GPS units through LEI Extras. Permanent and temporary mounts su itable for boat, aircraft and mo- torcycle handlebars are available.
7 Section 2: Map Mode Operation This section addresses Map Mode operation, including the different menus and features associated with the unit. Map Mode includes all navigation features from finding th e nearest restaurant to planning a road trip across the country.

9 When you press N EXT the Language – Voice menu will appear. Use this menu to select the spoken language used by the unit while giving turn- by-turn voice instructions. When you make your selection the unit will speak a short test message. Press B ACK if you would like to reselect the text language or press D ONE to continue to the map screen.
10 While the map display provides information about your surroundings, you also can use it to explore location s other than your current position.

49 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.
50 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 ac- tive on-screen – or to search for specific locations by name.
51 In the following two figures the lette r "A" was entered. When the letter "L" was entered next, the unit came up with a list that included Ala- bama, Alaska and Alberta. Highlight an d select your choice from the generated list.

53 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 naviga te to any POI stored in the unit.
54 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.

58 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.
59 Section 6: Point-to-Point Navigation The iWAY 600 C 's primary job is providing turn-by-turn road naviga- tion, but it can also display plot trails and perform traditional straight- line or point-to-point navigation in off road situations.
60 The iWAY's Point-to-Point mode uses straight-line navigation, the origi- nal 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.
61 Therefore, the prudent navigator will not only take ad- vantage 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.
62 A DDRESSBOOK to create and save the waypoint. The Edit Contact (Way- point) screen appears. You can a ccept 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.
63 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 .
64 Navigating with the Go To Cursor command. At left, the boater has selected a waypoint (fish symbol) with the cursor and started navigat- ing. The figure at right shows the straight-line navigation course after the cursor and toolbar have been cleared from the screen.
65 Navigating to a fishing spot using course line and Overlay Data boxes, seen in lower right corner. From to p 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.
66 Course: The direction you should be tr aveling to reach your destina- tion 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 Co urse match, and you will be headed straight for your destination along your original course.
67 all the bus routes he drives in one file for work. Another file could con- tain personal GPS data for fishing or vacation travel. Recording a trail in a roadless area. This hunter can retrace his path from parking area to hunting stand even in the dark.
68 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.
69 Navigating a route made from a trail. Fig. 1 shows boat on first leg of the route. In Fig. 2 boat nears point two and unit automatically switches navigation to point three. Boat is still tracking 321 ° , but bear- ing overlay now shows point three is 269 ° away.
70 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.
71 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.
72 The cursor has been used to highlight a shipwreck symbol, and a popup box appeared describing th e selected item. The Information button was then selected to view w aypoint information on the wreck. The cursor has selected the Port Aransas Municipal Harbor marina symbol.
73 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.
74 Elevation Contour Lines Topographic information is displaye d 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.
