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. 2. The
main navigation mode of the iWAY is the Map Mode with its Overlay
Data and voice instructions. The goal of the Map Mode is to provide you
a constant awareness of your current position on your route, and a gen-
eral sense of the larger route. Turn Preview and the Directions List are
designed to give you slightly different information from the basic Map
Mode navigation.
The Directions List is shown left; a Turn Preview is shown right.
Turn Preview allows you to leave your current position to focus mi-
nutely on a particular turn in the path ahead. A close zoom range and
large-font data boxes combine to help you see exactly the road condi-
tions up ahead.
The Directions List, on the other hand, gives you a detailed description
of the entire route – more information than you can see in the basic
Map Mode. The Directions List tells you every step of the way, so you
can get a very good idea what to expect further down the road.
The path described in the Directions List parallels the magenta route
line on your Map Mode, and every entry in the list is shown on the
map's route as a blue dot, as we mentioned. You can select any turn in
the Directions List to open a Turn Preview screen for that instruction.
These tools can be very useful when checking a route through a known
area. After the iWAY generates a route, open the Directions List and
read through the steps to see if it generally matches the path you would
take. If the route is over unknown ground, this can be a very useful way
to prepare yourself for the path ahead.
