location. Like your car radio, GPS tracking can also be affected by weather conditions if
severe. CoPilot will continue tracking as soon as adequate signals are available.
NOTE: The GPS unit should be placed far forward on the dashboard to maximize the
satellite reception area.
How CoPilot Uses GPS
CoPilot uses the GPS positional data it receives from the GPS receiver to display your
current position and route on a map as you drive. This is called “tracking.” CoPilot also
uses the GPS data it receives to “navigate,” that is, to guide you along your planned route,
provided you enter a destination.
If you enter a destination you will be given navigation instructions, and your route will
be tracked on the map. If you do not enter a destination, your route will be tracked as
you drive, but you will not be given directions as CoPilot has no way of knowing your
destination.
