A CAREFUL NAVIGATOR NEVER RELIES ON ONLY ONE METHOD
TO OBTAIN POSITION INFORMATION.
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.
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.

iWAY 250c™ Quick Start Guide
We have tried to make iWAY operation as simple as possible. After
pushing the power button you will use the iWAY’s touch screen to control all of its functions.
The iWAY 250c™ GPS unit.
The iWAY’s touch screen is a powerful tool. In Music Mode, touch the
play control buttons to start and stop music or skip among songs. In
Map Mode you can drag the map across the screen to focus on any area
you would like to see better or point to a nearby restaurant to get detailed information and begin navigating to it.
Since the screen responds to pressure you will use the iWAY's stylus to
touch the screen and scroll the map, drag the borders of a zoom box and
enter commands. With practice you will learn the amount of pressure
necessary to operate the unit effectively.
NOTE:
Use a microfiber towel to clean the iWAY's touch screen. Other
cleaning materials could damage the screen – damage that is not
covered by this product's warranty. See Section 1 of the manual
under the heading "Screen Care Instructions" for details.
To use your iWAY's Music Mode insert an MMC or SD memory card
loaded with some of your favorite songs. Instructions for inserting an
MMC card can be found in the owner's manual. The iWAY can play any
MP3 or Ogg Vorbis music file stored on the memory card.
To control the iWAY’s operation push the
MENU button located in the
top left corner of the screen. This brings up the Main Menu which allows you to access the Map, Music, Find
and Options menus.
From the Main Menu you can also start a photo slideshow which uses
most of the same play controls as the Music Mode.

Music Mode Operation
The iWAY has two main Modes of operation: Map Mode and Music
Mode. To switch between these modes go to the Main Menu by pushing
the
MENU button in the top left corner of the screen.
You can play music through the iWAY's built-in speaker or attach
headphones. For superior audio quality you can broadcast the iWAY’s
audio to a nearby FM radio using an FM modulator. You will need to
purchase an FM modulator and plug it into the iWAY's headphone
jack.
WARNING:
Listening to music or even the verbal turn-by-turn instructions with headphones can seriously impede your
ability to drive. Be sure to check your local laws before
using headphones while driving.
Since the 2 GB (gigabyte) MMC card shipped with the iWAY contains
the mapping data for the unit there may be very limited or no space to
store MP3, Ogg Vorbis or JPEG files on the card. Also, when the MMC
card containing mapping data is removed the unit's map mode will not
work. You must have the MMC card with the mapping data in the unit
for the map mode to work.
You will need additional MMC cards in order 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. The Music Mode display contains an area for visualization effects
with a set of play control buttons. When a song or play list is playing
the name of the current song will appear at the top of the screen as well
as the song's length and quality in kilobits per second, or Kbps.
Previous Song begins playing the previous song in the current play
list.
Play will play the selected song or play list, starting at the beginning.
If no play list or song has been chosen, it will automatically generate a
play list from all the songs on your music drive.
Next Song begins playing the next song in the current play list.
Stop cancels the current song playing.
Volume Slider adjusts the playback volume. Press the blue button
and drag it left or right to get the desired volume.
There are two ways to choose the song or play list you want to play
