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 prohib-
ited in some locations. While navigating, a driver is responsible for
noting all traffic signs and obeying all local traffic laws. When fol-
lowing 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 sur-
veillance of all pertinent driving condi-
tions 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350c and begin installing it, please give us a mo-
ment or two to explain how the manual can help you get the best per-
formance 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.
So, we designed our book so that 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 350 and the manual’s organization. The first
section will help you install the iWAY in your vehicle. We will also
show you how to use the USB cable to connect the iWAY to your PC.
We'll 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 350, right out of the box. This section features a one-
page GPS Practice Run. (If you've already jumped ahead and fig-
ured out how to install the unit yourself, and you just can't wait
any longer, turn to the Map Mode Practice Run on page 10 and
head for the road with your GPS unit.)
In Section 3, we leave Mapping mode and introduce you to Music Mode
Operation. We will tell you everything you need to know about getting
music into your iWAY, arranging the files on your memory card and cre-
ating and using play lists. We also explain how you can easily browse mu-
sic on your iWAY and listen to your favorite tunes while navigating. If
you are in a hurry to get some music playing, skip to the Music
Practice Run on page 19. To learn how to copy music files to the iWAY
see the included supplemental document "Making USB Connections Be-
tween iWAY 350 and Computers."
Section 4 describes the Options 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, we will go into detail on how to search for and
navigate to points of interest, addresses and contacts you have created.
We’ll 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.

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. If you already understand GPS receivers and the GPS system, skip
ahead to Section 1, Installation & Accessories on page 3.
Think of your iWAY as a small, highly automated, computer. The iWAY is
controlled by a touch screen with menu displays so you can direct its func-
tions. As long as there is no interference, and the unit is locked on to a sat-
ellite signal, it will display your location on a moving map and help guide
you to your destination. A built-in 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 and WAAS sat-
ellites circling the earth. Your unit listens to signals from as many sat-
ellites as it can "see" above the horizon, then computes its location in
relation to those satellites. The iWAY plots your position on the map
displayed on the screen.
The iWAY's hard drive contains highly detailed road and highway
mapping data for Hawaii, the 48 contiguous United States and most of
Canada. You can not change or erase the map. The iWAY's memory
also records GPS data you create, such as address book contacts.
GPS stands for Global Positioning System, a navigational system that
can accurately locate your position almost anywhere. This technology is
available to everyone, everywhere, 24 hours a day, in all weather condi-
tions. GPS uses 24 satellites orbiting 10,900 miles above the Earth to
transmit position data back to Earth. A GPS receiver processes that
data to tell you where you are.
For the system to work, the unit must have a clear view of the satellites
in order to receive the signals. 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.
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, fre-
quently asked questions and a glossary.
NOTE:
The iWAY is controlled using a pressure-sensitive touch screen. In
this manual, the touch screen "keystrokes" appear as boldface type. If
you are in a hurry when you are looking up instructions (or if you just
need a reminder), you can skim the instructions and pick out what
menu command to use by finding the boldface command text.

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 important
information in this section is how to connect the iWAY to your car's
power, and how to use the USB-to-PC cable to add songs or picture files
to your MMC or SD Card.
If you need help using any of these accessories, look through this sec-
tion. Otherwise, move on to Section 2: Mapping Mode Operation begin-
ning on page 7. You can also turn to the beginning of Sec. 3 on page 17
if you would like to learn about iWAY's Music Mode.
Power Cable
The iWAY operates on internal rechargeable batteries. When the in-
cluded power cable is connected, the iWAY draws power directly from
the power cable and recharges the internal batteries. The power cable
is designed to plug into a car's cigarette lighter. An optional power
adapter for home use is also available.
The iWAY 350 Power cable.
Flash memory will keep your stored data safe and accessible for the life
of the product — after the unit is turned off, no battery or external
power is needed to store your data.
To use the power cable, plug the cable's cigarette lighter adapter into a ciga-
rette lighter receptacle. Then insert the other end of the cable into the power
socket on the side of the unit, as shown in the following image.
Attach power cable to iWAY.

NOTE:
When operating on external power, the iWAY is designed to enter a
Standby mode if the external power source fails. For full details, see
the discussion of power button functions in Sec. 4.
External Power and Standby Mode
The iWAY has an optional Standby Mode (on by default) which allows
the unit to conserve power while not in use. When the iWAY is in
Standby Mode, it will activate quickly when powered up.
If the iWAY is running on external power, and that power source is re-
moved, the iWAY will display a dialog box informing you that it is
about to enter Standby Mode. If you want to keep operating the iWAY,
touch the screen to interrupt automatic Standby.
However, if the iWAY does enter Standby in this manner, it will auto-
matically restart (or "wake up") as soon as external power is reconnected.
Tip:
These features of Standby Mode can be particularly handy in vehi-
cles where the ignition controls the cigarette lighter. In such vehi-
cles, connect the iWAY to external power. Turning the car off will
automatically place the iWAY in Standby and starting the car will
restart the iWAY.
External Connections
On the right side of your iWAY, you will find 3 sockets for external con-
nections. These are, from top to bottom, the USB cable connection (for
software updates), the headphone connection (which also works as a
line-out, for vehicles with an auxiliary line input to the stereo system),
and the power connection (described earlier).
USB-to-PC Cable Connection
The iWAY comes with a cable designed to allow you to copy files from
your computer to the iWAY's MMC or SD Card. In this way, the iWAY
acts like a card reader. Please read the supplemental document Making
USB Connections Between iWAY 350c and Computers (which should be
included with this unit) for details on attaching and using the USB-to-
PC Cable Connection.
MMC or SD Card
On the left side your iWAY, you will find the MMC or SD Card slot, as
shown in the following images. You will need an MMC (or SD) card to
play music or view a photo slideshow.

5
To insert an MMC card, hold it so that the label faces forward, and
slide it into the slot, pushing with your fingernail until the card locks in
place. To remove the card, again use your fingernail to push the card,
which will release the catch and eject the card.
The MMC slot can be found on the left side of the iWAY.
Getting Music (or Pictures) on Your iWAY
Of course, to use your iWAY's Music Mode, you will need some music
files. The iWAY uses the MMC card to store music and picture files.
Whenever you switch to Music Mode or launch the Pictures slideshow,
the iWAY automatically searches the memory card for media files it can
play.
With the memory card inserted in the unit, use the provided USB-to-PC
cable to connect the iWAY to your computer. Once it's connected, you
can treat the memory card just like another removable disk on your
computer. 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 you copy your music onto the card, consider creating subfolders to
sort your music by artist, album or genre – however you prefer to arrange
your music. The iWAY makes it easy to play a whole folder at a time, so if
you arrange your music well when you copy it to the card, playing the right
songs when you want to hear them will be a breeze.
Once you have the files you want copied to your MMC or SD Card, the
iWAY can play them at your convenience.
Mounting Brackets
Several mounting brackets are available for your iWAY through LEI
Extras. Permanent and temporary mounts suitable for virtually any
boat, aircraft or other vehicle −even motorcycle handlebars −are avail-
able. Each of these mounts work without screws or adhesives. To safely
install your GPS unit in your vehicle, you must refer to the instruction
sheet packed with the mounting bracket.

6
Other Accessories
The iWAY comes with a soft fabric face cover to protect the screen from
damage when it’s not in use. It slips easily on and off the unit.
The iWAY 350 shown with protective face cover.
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. If you lose the towel or wear it out,
you can replace it with a similar microfiber cloth. These are often avail-
able where shop towels or auto cleaning towels are sold.
CAUTION:
Do not use any chemical, such as window cleaners, on the iWAY
screen or damage may occur. Cleaning fabrics other than the
microfiber towel type may scratch the screen. Damage caused by
incorrect cleaning is not covered by the warranty. You may wash
the towel if it becomes soiled or loses its effectiveness, but do not
use fabric softener. Fabric softener will ruin the towel’s cleaning
capability.
Moving On: iWAY Operation
Now that you have installed your iWAY, it's time to find out how it
works. The following section jumps right into a description of Mapping
Mode Operation, which will tell you everything you need to know about
the iWAY's moving map and the various settings on the map display. If
you prefer, you can also skip to the beginning of Sec. 3 to start learning
about iWAY's Music Mode.

7
Section 2:
Mapping Mode Operation
This section addresses the unit's Mapping Mode operation. Mapping Mode
includes all navigation features, from finding the nearest restaurant to
plotting a road trip across the country. If you would prefer to start out us-
ing the built-in music player, skip ahead to Sec. 3, Music Mode Operation.
Before you turn the unit on, it's a good idea to learn about the different
menus, and how they work together. BUT, if you just can't wait to get
navigating, turn to the one-page Map Mode Practice Run on page 10.

The Power Button
The Power button turns the unit on and off and controls the backlight.
The unit has three preset backlight levels to select from. Repeatedly
pressing POWER will cycle through the backlight settings and turn off
the backlight. To turn off the unit (or enter Standby mode), press and
hold the POWER key for 3 seconds. For complete details concerning
Standby mode, see the discussion of power button functions in Sec. 4.
If you find that your iWAY has become unresponsive, you can force a
restart by holding the POWER button down for 10-15 seconds.
Using the Touch Screen
As we've already mentioned, you will use the touch screen for most of
the iWAY's controls. You will see on-screen toolbars like the one on the
left side of the previous image, as well as menus and textual lists that
allow you to select a single entry.
Power
button

8
Since the iWAY screen responds to pressure, with practice, you'll learn
exactly the right amount of pressure to operate the touch screen con-
trols. Buttons are easy; scrollbars can be a little more challenging.
NOTE:
From time to time, you may notice a slight delay between pressing
an on-screen button and seeing the iWAY respond. The delay may
be necessary while the iWAY reads information from the hard
drive. If the iWAY does not immediately respond to a touch screen
command, look for the hourglass icon in the lower left corner of the
screen. Wait until the hourglass disappears from the screen before
entering another command.
"Press and Drag"
Some controls, such as the scrollbar or the zoom selection box (which
we will describe later in this section), require you to press and drag an
item on the touch screen. We'll use that term throughout this manual,
"press and drag," to refer to the motion of selecting an item or location
on screen by pressing on it, then maintaining that pressure while you
drag the item to a new location on the screen.
Closing Menus
Menus and dialogs that appear on your screen will all have an "X" icon
in the top right corner, just like you're used to seeing on your computer
at home. Remember that all menus and dialogs can be closed by press-
ing on this "X."
The Main Menu
When using the iWAY in either Map Mode or Music Mode, press the
MENU button located in the top left corner of the screen to open the Main
Menu. The Main Menu contains commands that let you switch modes,
perform searches, or customize the iWAY’s behavior.
The iWAY Main Menu.

Map and Music
Use the Map and Music buttons to change the iWAY’s mode. Map Mode
shows your current position on a moving map, as well as information
concerning your current route. Music Mode allows you to choose the
audio play list, adjust volume and set various play controls. The rest of
this section concerns Map Mode operation.
Options Menu
The Options Menu has 3 pages with settings that control iWAY opera-
tion or provide additional information. The iWAY works great right out
of the box, but as you become more familiar with the unit and what it
can do, you will eventually want to begin customizing some of these
settings.
The Options Menu is accessible from the Main Menu, just select OP-
TIONS.
In Sec. 4, we will describe each of the Options Menu features and com-
mands in detail. All of these options come with default values right out of
the box, so you may never need to make changes.
Find
The Find Menu contains 3 pages of search options, designed to let you
find any destination quickly and easily. See Sec. 5 for details on
searching and following a generated route.
The following page contains an 11-step "Practice Run" that will walk you
through the most basic Mapping Mode operations. If you do not want to
carry the manual with you as you practice with the unit, you might con-
sider photocopying this practice run page and placing it where it is easily
accessible.
Using just the steps outlined here, you can operate your iWAY's Map-
ping Mode well enough to find your current location and find your way
to a destination.

10
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 the iWAY suggests a different route than you would take. Try
the iWAY's route. Then see "Knowing the Area" in Sec. 5.
1. Connect the unit to your car's power. (See complete installation de-
tails beginning on page 3.)
2. To turn the unit on press the POWER key.
3. The opening screen displays either the music player or a map of
North America. If the Music Mode opens up, press the MENU button and
then MAP to select Map Mode.
4. With your position acquired, press anywhere on the map display to
bring up the Map Cursor and the Map Display Toolbar. Here you can:
Zoom in or Zoom out using the + and – buttons on the Toolbar.
Zoom on an area using the zoom selection box button on the Toolbar.
Scroll map north, south, east or west by pressing on the map display
and dragging the map to show the area you're interested in.
5. Choose your destination. Find an interesting location within a short
driving distance from your house, and press on the screen at that loca-
tion. You'll see the Map Cursor pointing to the position you selected.
6. Press the Location Information button in the top right corner
of the page. It looks like the image at right, and can be used to
open up detailed information for any item selected on the map.
7. The Location Information Screen appears, showing details about the
location you selected, including its distance away from your current
position, and its lat/lon coordinates. Choose GO TOto begin navigating.
The Location Information Screen will disappear, and navigation in-
structions will begin to appear on your screen.
8. Press the CLEAR CURSOR button (the button with a big "X" on it) to close
the toolbar. (If Auto Zoom is on, any changes to the zoom level will reset
when you Clear Cursor.) Then press the Save Location button (a button
with a flag in the top right corner) to mark your starting location. Choose
ADD TO ADDRESS BOOK and then close all windows to return to the map.
9. Follow the iWAY's directions to the selected location. If you're comfort-
able finding your way in the area, try departing from the route the iWAY
provides to see how it recalculates to correct for wrong or missed turns.
10. To navigate back home, follow steps 5-9, using the contact that you
created in step 8 as your destination in step 5.
11. To turn the unit off, press and hold POWER key for three seconds.

11
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 shows the map in a
3D view.
NOTE:
This can be changed if you'd prefer to see the map from a different
perspective. See the topic Using the Map Orientation Button, later
in this section.
To switch to Map Mode from Music Mode, press the MAP button in the
Main Menu. You can do a lot with the Map Mode display. Its basic pur-
pose is to show where you are and what's around you. The iWAY uses a
black arrowhead icon to indicate your position. The arrow always points
in the direction you are traveling.
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 will see the highway on the map approach your
current position icon, then scroll away behind it even as the highway
overpass dwindles in your rear-view mirror.
The iWAY uses the Map Mode display to provide information about
your surroundings. You can also use it to explore locations other than
your current position. All of the tools you will 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.
Map Mode display, with all the on-screen command buttons shown.

12
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 by
touching the screen. When you do, a map cursor will appear along with
a toolbar containing several map display buttons.
Using the Menu Button
The Menu button appears in the top left corner of the screen. Press this
button to enter the menus and submenus, which allow you to toggle
between Map and Music Mode, search for a destination, select a com-
mand or adjust a feature. We'll discuss the Menu in the following pages
and the Options Menu (accessible from the Menu) in Sec. 4.
Using the Speak Instruction Button
This button appears just below the Menu button. Push this button once
to make the iWAY repeat the current navigation instruction. (If you’re
not navigating, the iWAY will speak a short test message.) Whenever
the iWAY is giving an instruction, a volume control slider will appear
below the speak button. You can press and drag the control on this
slider to quickly adjust the volume.
For more information on sounds options, see the heading "Sound and
Voice Setup" in Sec. 4.
Using the Map Display Toolbar
The map display toolbar buttons are used with the touch screen to con-
trol what part of the map you see. You can zoom all the way out to see
your position relative to the continental U.S., or zoom in close on an
area hundreds of miles away to see whether you'll be making a left or
right turn at the end of your trip.
The Map Display Toolbar.
Clear Cursor button.
Move Map / Zoom Box button
(press to toggle between modes).

The Map Display Toolbar cannot be made partially transparent like some
of the other overlay boxes covering portions of the map. You can control the
level of transparency of some overlay boxes if you want to make them more
readable. For details on controlling transparency level settings see "Trans-
parency" in Sec. 4.
Clear Cursor immediately clears the cursor and toolbar from the
screen and centers the map on your current position.
Move Map or Zoom Box lets you toggle between these two modes.
Move Map Mode lets you drag the map with a touch, focusing on ar-
eas other than your current location. When this button is in Move Map
Mode, press anywhere on the map display and a cursor will appear.
Drag your finger across the screen (still pressing down) and the map
and cursor will move with it.
Zoom Box Mode lets you draw a box on the screen and zoom in on the
map area within the box. When this button is in Zoom Box Mode, press
the screen at the corner of the area you want to select and drag your
finger across the area (still pressing down). You will see a box appear
on the screen. When the box contains all the area you want to see, lift
you finger and the map display will zoom in.
If you are starting at a very wide zoom, Zoom Box can be an extremely
helpful way of narrowing down your view to exactly the area you are inter-
ested in. Once Zoom Box is activated, you can keep drawing boxes on
smaller and smaller areas until you're focused on just what you want to
see.
Zoom In and Zoom Out change the current zoom level in discreet steps,
moving in or out from the cursor's location. Control the zoom to get the
most detail possible while still showing all of the necessary area. Tap
Zoom In once to see a smaller map area in higher detail. Tap Zoom Out
once to see more area, with less detail. You can press and hold either
zoom button to repeatedly zoom until you reach the right level of detail.
You can use these buttons in combination with the Move Map function
to quickly focus on an area other than your current location. Use Zoom
Out to show a large enough map that you can quickly drag it to center
on the area you're interested in. Then use Zoom In (or the Zoom Box) to
fill the map display with only that area.
NOTE:
When activated, the iWAY's Auto Zoom feature controls the map's
zoom level any time the cursor isn't showing. This means that any
adjustments you make to the zoom with the cursor up will be reset

to a calculated level once you hit CLEAR CURSOR. If you prefer to
manually control the zoom level all the time, turn off the Auto
Zoom feature as described in Sect. 4.
Using the Map Orientation Button
There are three different ways to view the map. Whenever the cursor is up,
the Map Orientation button can be found in the bottom right corner of the
screen. Touch this button to switch among North Up, Track Up, and 3D.
North Up always shows the map with North at the top of the screen.
Track Up rotates the map so that the direction you're traveling is at the
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.
Using the Location Information Button
There's one more button that appears whenever the cursor is up. The
Location Information button appears in the top right corner of
the screen. You can always use this button to bring up a screen
showing details on the location selected by the map cursor. This
could be a Point of Interest such as a restaurant or gas station, or a
contact that you've saved, or a map location that you'd like to visit.
As we mentioned, whenever you press the Location Information button,
the Location Information Screen appears. The Location Information
Screen will include as much information as possible about the location
that you've selected. If it's a cursor location, this may include only the
lat/lon coordinates and the distance and bearing to the location, al-
though a cursor location close to a road will also have the street ad-
dress. If it's a Point of Interest the information should include street
address and even the shop's phone number.
