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.

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 600cTM 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.
Preface: Introducing GPS
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.

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.
Section 1: Installation & Accessories
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.

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.

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 MAP/MUSIC 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. 23
8. To play the audio through your car's radio, press the OUTPUT MODE button in the bottom left corner of the Music Mode screen. The volume slider will be replaced by two up and down arrow buttons. Find an empty frequency on your car's radio and use the up and down arrow buttons to tune the unit to the same frequency as the radio. 9. To have the unit create a play list of all songs in the music folder press the PLAY button with no song selected. The unit will begin playing the first song in the music directory. 10. If you press SHUFFLE the unit will play songs in the music folder in random order. To stop the music press STOP.
24
The unit's Menu feature contains four menu screens. The menus can be used to customize the operation of the unit and come with default settings so you can use the unit right out of the box. That way you may never need to make changes.
Section 4: Main Menu
Menu 1
Directions List The Directions list is generated whenever the unit begins navigating to a destination. It is a list of all the turns from the start of a route to the end, including an arrow icon indicating the direction of each turn. You can view the list by pressing and dragging the blue slider bar at the right of the Directions list screen. You can select any individual instruction on-screen for more detailed information. If Turn Preview is on, the Directions list will be displayed automatically when the GPS is lost.

25
Trip Calculator The Trip Calculator keeps track of detailed information concerning your route. You can use it to find the distance of your daily commute or to calculate your average speed on a cross-country road trip.
Pressing the Reset Trip button will reset all on-screen values to zero.
Overlay Data Setup Overlay Data boxes provide information about the route you are following. Select OVERLAY DATA SETUP from Menu 1 to choose which information to display on-screen. Overlay data appears in semi-transparent boxes on the map screen. The transparency level of overlay data boxes can be controlled from the Interface Options screen.
Overlay data boxes
Map screen with overlay data boxes.
To get to the Interface Options screen, press INTERFACE OPTIONS in Menu 2. Overlay data can be used to show information such as the distance to your next turn, the direction and angle of a turn, your speed, estimated time to destination, text directions and the current road you are traveling on. 26

The Data Viewer screen left and center figure. The Data Information screen for the Odometer setting is shown at right.
In the Data Viewer screen select the overlay data you want to display on-screen. The Data Viewer screen is arranged in an expanding tree format. Press the + sign to view the sub-categories listed under each main category. When you select Audio Data (left figure above) its subcategories will appear. Press in the box to the left of each category to activate it. When a feature is activated (center figure above) a check mark will appear in the box next to it. The size of on-screen overlay data boxes can be controlled by using the slider in the Data Information screen (right figure above). Each Data Viewer category has its own Data Information screen. Bring up the Data Information screen by highlighting and pressing on the category in the Overlay Data Shown screen. 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 ROUTE VIA DESTINATIONS from Menu 1. This will bring up the Routes menu. Select NEW ROUTE 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 FROM MAP button or the FROM FIND button. If you select FROM MAP the map screen will appear. Use the cursor arrow on-screen to select a specific location (or address) then press the ADD 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 GO TO, and begin navigating; then search for another location and press GO TO 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 OPEN 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 DELETE. If you select FROM FIND in the Edit Route screen the Find menu will appear. In this menu you can search for a desired destination by Category and Subcategory.
The Category and Subcategory list in the Find menu. In this example a search is being conducted for a museum to add to a route.
Selecting a Category or Subcategory will bring up the Find By menu with three options: Name Entry, Near Current Location and Near Cursor. Depending on how you want to search for a specific location will determine which option you should select.

To learn more about the specifics of "Searching, Finding and Navigating" refer to Section 5. Once you have found your desired destination select it and add it to your route. You can add as many as 99 waypoints to a route. If you want to rearrange the order of the waypoints in a route list you can use the UP and DOWN 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 DIRECT TO and the unit will begin navigating to that destination (or leg). When you highlight a specific "leg" in a route, and press the VIEW VIA 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 FIND ON MAP button or you can add that leg to your Address Book by pressing the ADD TO ADDRESSBOOK button. 30
If you want to remove a "leg" from a route in the Edit Route screen, highlight the entry and press the REMOVE VIA 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 AUTOSORT 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 AUTOSORT 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 YES 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 CANCEL NAVIGATION. Again the unit will display a dialog box to confirm your choice. Choose YES 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 RESET TO DEFAULTS button to see if that helps. You can use the RECALCULATE ROUTE 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 TOLL ROADS 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 INTERSTATES 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 TURN PREVIEW 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.
Menu 2
Categories Drawn Categories Drawn lets you choose how much map data you want to display on the map screen. This information includes contacts, points of interest, cities, highways, etc.
Use the Map Categories Drawn screen to customize what is displayed on the map screen. In this example, the category My Trails and subcategory Distances are turned off because there is not a check mark next to the entry. In the right figure you can see what Map Categories Drawn features have been activated in the Highways/Roads category.
34
The Map Categories Drawn Menu is divided into two columns, "Category" and "Subcategory." You can turn any category or subcategory on or off. If you turn off a category none of its subcategories will appear. Press and highlight any item to turn it on or off. When it is highlighted press it again to check it (turn it on) or uncheck it (turn it off). Use the scrollbar next to the category or subcategory to scroll through the list. My Trails Most GPS units are designed to record plot trails which are a record of where you have been. By default Trails are hidden in the unit to save on-screen clutter. You can choose to display Trails, which will show your travel history on the map screen. Use the My Trails command to control how the unit records and displays Trails. To view the Trails menu select MY TRAILS from Menu 2. The Trails Menu lists all of the Trails stored on the unit with icons to indicate which trail is active - that is, which one is currently recording your travel - and which ones should be displayed.

When finished making your selection in the Language Voice menu press DONE. You must press DONE in the Language Voice menu to return to the Main Menu. Pressing X will not close the Language Voice menu. Safety Mode The Safety Mode feature prevents drivers from operating the unit while the vehicle is in motion. The unit will navigate and play music while moving. The Power button will also work but the touch-screen buttons are temporarily disabled whenever Safety Mode is on. The screen buttons become responsive when the vehicle stops. However, if a passenger is available to act as navigator Safety Mode can be turned off. When this feature is disabled a large red X will appear on the Safety Mode button. This switches the unit to Passenger Mode so the passenger can operate the unit while the vehicle is moving. To disable Safety Mode and switch to Passenger Mode make sure the vehicle is not moving. From Menu 2 select SAFETY MODE to turn this feature on or off. When this feature is selected a dialog box will appear stating, "Only Passengers should disable Safety Mode. Never enter data or configure your iWAY while operating a motor vehicle. Disable safety mode?" Select YES or NO to turn this feature on or off. 36

Device Information From time to time, Lowrance updates the operating system software in some of its products. These software upgrades are usually offered to customers as free downloads from our web site, www.lowrance.com. Complete information and instructions for installing an update will be available on the update's page at the Lowrance web site. These upgrades make the unit perform better or introduce a new feature or function. You can find out what software version is running in your unit by using the Device Information command. Navigation Mode The iWAY's primary function is to provide turn-by-turn navigation instructions, but it also can display plot trails and perform traditional straight-line or point-to-point navigation in off road situations. 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. For more information concerning Point-to-Point mode, refer to Section 6: Pointto-Point Navigation. 41
