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 iWAY suggests a different route than you would take. Try the
iWAY's route. Then see the heading "Knowing the Area" in Sec. 5.

tails beginning on page 3.)

America. If the Music Mode opens up, press the
