Data Download to Your Pocket PC
To use CoPilot Truck on your Pocket PC,you first need to download map data
from your desktop or laptop computer to your Pocket device. You select the data
to download from one or more regions (“data areas”) that you specify in the
CoPilotTruck application on your desktop. It’s a simple 4-step process.
Step 1: Specify Where Data Will Be Stored
To begin the data download process,open the CoPilotTruck application on your
desktop/laptop,then click the Data DownloadWizard icon or pick Data
DownloadWizard from the File menu.
CoPilotTruck gives you three options for downloading data:
1) directly to the Pocket device's memory,
2) to a Storage Card in the device,or
3) to a Storage Card through a Storage Card Reader.
You will be prompted to enter one of these choices before you can download.
CoPilot will detect which options are available to you.
NOTE: If there is data stored on the device's memory and also on a
Storage Card in the device,CoPilot will use the map data on the
Storage Card by default. To have it use the device's memory,you must
remove the Storage Card.
- 12 -
1.To download to Pocket PC
Device Memory:
(In this example, CoPilotTruck has
detected that there is no Storage
Card in the device.) Click Next to
go to the Data Selection window.
See CoPilot QuickStart,p.12, for a
description of software included in
downloads. See p.22 for Options.
2.To download to a Storage
Card in the device:
(In this example, CoPilotTruck has
detected that all options are
available.) Select a storage card
name from the drop-down pick
list,then click Next to go to the
Data Selection window. See CoPilot
QuickStart,p.12, for a description
of software included in downloads.
See p.22 for Options.- 11 -
3.To download to a Storage
Card through a Card Reader:
(In this example, again all options
are available.) Pick the drive letter
associated with your Storage Card
Reader,then click Next to go to
the Data Selection window. See
CoPilot QuickStart below for a
description of software included in
downloads. See p.22 for Options.
CoPilot QuickStart
Storage Card Application Download
If you are downloading map data to a Storage Card or Storage Card
Reader, you have the option to download a complete, ready-to-use
“QuickStart” version of CoPilot Truck along with the data. Having the
QuickStart version on your Storage Card ensures that CoPilotTruck will
be available even if you experience technical problems with your Pocket
PC and need to perform a hard reset. (During a hard reset, all installed
applications are deleted from the Pocket PC.) Inserting a storage card
with the QuickStart version will automatically install CoPilot,
and your map data will already be there!
The QuickStart option can be turned on or off in the final step of the
download process (see p. 21). By default this option is active and
the QuickStart download will be executed each time you
download map data.
The QuickStart needs 10 MB of space on your Storage Card. Once the
QuickStart has been copied, you can save time the next time you
download data by unchecking the Create QuickStart option in the final
Data DownloadWizard screen before proceeding to download. You will
also want to uncheck this option if you do not have enough room on your
Storage Card for it.
If the QuickStart is copied onto your Storage Card and you need to
remove it, simply delete the folder that contains it. The folder will be
named either “2577”, “4000”, or “10003” depending on which type of
Pocket PC you are using.
NOTE: You can also download to a Storage Card through a PCMCIA
adapter. Simply identify the drive letter associated with the adapter under the
Storage Card Reader option.

Data Download
Step 2: Choose a Data Selection Method
After you specify a location where the data will be stored,you will be prompted
to select a region on the map to download. CoPilot allows you to download
data using one of the three methods described below.
See Data Download Step 3 beginning on p.15 for step-by-step instructions for
downloading data to your Pocket PC using each of these three methods.
City Radius - This method allows you to quickly select data in the shape of a
circle surrounding any city in the United States. In the Data DownloadWizard
you type a city name and state abbreviation or ZIP code and enter the number of
miles you would like the radius
to extend around the city, then
click Next.
TheWizard displays a map that
shows the city and the radius
you chose. At this point you
can zoom the map in and out
using zoom buttons and adjust
the size of the data area by
altering the radius of the circle.
Map Area - This method of selecting data allows you to choose an area of data
by drawing a box on the Data DownloadWizard's map screen.
In theWizard,you enter a city
name near which you would like
to select data,then click Next.
The map will zoom to that
location. Then you create a
box around the desired area by
clicking and dragging your
mouse across the map. The
street-level data within that box
will be selected.
At this point you can zoom
the map in and out using zoom
buttons and adjust the size of
the data area by redrawing
the box.
Trip - The Trip method of selecting data is by far the most customizable method.
This option allows you to run a trip and select street-level data specific to that trip,
thereby avoiding unneeded data
and saving valuable memory
space.
Once the trip is run,the Data
DownloadWizard automatically
selects circles of data around
your origin and destination,
and a corridor of data along
your route. You can then click
Options to adjust the radius of
the circles and the width of the
corridor.
TheTrip Itinerary for each trip
you download will be stored on
your Pocket PC (see Trip
Transfer,p.22). Multiple trips can
be downloaded to the Pocket
PC for later use.

Data Download
Step 4: Download the Data
When you’re ready to execute a download,theWizard will display a list of
Available Area(s) for download on the left side of the window. To designate
an area to include in the download,click on it and then click on the right arrow
button to move it to the Data Included inThis Download list.
Notice that the amount of available map memory and the memory required for
all the areas on the Included list is shown under the list. NOTE: CoPilot's
available memory calculations subtract 15 MB from the available memory on
your storage card (if you are using one) to account for support files.
If you need to move an area off the Included list,click on it and use the left
arrow button. To delete an area from memory, click on it and click Delete.
IMPORTANT: Each data download overwrites the data that is already
on your Pocket PC. If any data areas are already loaded on your Pocket PC,
they will be overwritten by the new download. Therefore,your download must
include all areas that you wish to have available on your Pocket PC.
Check Include US Highway Network to download CoPilot’s complete US
Highway Network along with your data. This additional download requires
approximately 36 MB of space on your Pocket PC. When this network is loaded,
major roads,cities,and some points of interest outside your selected data region
will be shown on the map and you’ll be able to receive guidance as you drive
anywhere in the United States.
Check Download Favorites to download your Favorites list from theTrip
Planner window on your desktop along with map data. These addresses will then
be available as Favorites for trip entry on the Pocket PC.
Uncheck Create QuickStart if you do not want the CoPilot QuickStart
software copied to your Storage Card (see p.12 for a description of this feature).
POI Download Options
When you download a data region,you’ll get all roads within that region (but not
roads outside the region). Also included with each download are regional points
of interest (POI) such as gas stations,hotels, restaurants, visitor attractions,etc.
CoPilotTruck now lets you control the number and types of points of interest
that get downloaded along with your data areas. You can save space on your
Pocket PC by eliminating categories of POI that you’re not interested in seeing.
To select which POI categories you want,choose POI Download Options from the
Edit menu in the desktop application or, when you first open the Data
DownloadWizard, click the Options button in theWizard. In the window that
opens,check the categories you wish to select. Click the plus sign next to each
category to see the included sub-categories.
Click Save Settings to save the set of categories you create. Click Restore
Default to return to CoPilot’s default categories.
Trip Transfer
CoPilotTruck now transfers whole trips to your Pocket PC when you use the
Trip option for data downloading. Any trip you create,including its Itinerary, is
automatically downloaded along with the surrounding data corridor and will
become the current trip on your Pocket PC. A .TRP file is created and placed in
the Save directory in the CoPilot installation folder on the Pocket PC. Subsequent
downloads will add more .TRP files to this folder. The number of trips that may
be stored is limited only by the available memory on your Pocket PC.
If multiple trips are downloaded,the last one to be added will open as the current
trip. Use OpenTrip in the pop-up Tools menu to open a stored .TRP file.

Importing Custom Places
CoPilotTruck’s Custom Place ImportWizard enables you to import addresses from
your Outlook Contacts database,an Excel file,or text file. (If you are using
another type of database or contact manager,you can export your contacts/
locations to an Excel or text file before importing them into CoPilotTruck.)
These points are added to CoPilot’s POI database under the Custom category.
Once they are in the database,they are displayed on maps as pushpins and
included in search results when you search for points of interest on your Pocket
PC or in theTrip Planner window on your desktop/laptop.
NOTE: CoPilotTruck now allows importing of multiple POIs with the same
name (e.g. an entire database of“Starbucks”).
To access the Wizard, choose Import Custom Places from theTools menu in
Planning Mode on the desktop,then follow the step-by-step instructions given by
theWizard.
Use the Data Import Status window to edit any addresses that were not accepted
during the importing process,then click Add to import the final list of addresses.
For more detailed instructions,refer to the CoPilotTruck Help files on your
desktop (Help Contents and Search in the Help menu).
