Thank you for purchasing CoPilot! This Quick Start Guide details how to get
up and running. Here’s an overview of the process:

Connect your Pocket PC to your desktop/laptop.
Install CoPilot to your desktop and Pocket PC using the
Product Key below.
On your desktop, create a map data region and download it
to your Pocket PC.

Product Key Code when prompted (you can find it on the cover of
your printed Quick Start). Click Next and follow the Installation
Wizard’s on-screen instructions.
When prompted,make sure Pocket PC Installation and Desktop
Installation are checked on the installation menu.
When prompted,choose a voice option. Text-to-speech provides
more detailed voice instructions, including road names.Pre-recorded
sound files are louder and crisper, but provide less detailed driving
instructions. The pre-recorded option saves space on your Pocket PC.
As CoPilot prepares to install to your mobile device, you will be asked
if the default location (the device’s main memory) is where you want
the application to be placed. Recommended Option: To install to
a storage card,click No, then choose Storage card from the drop-
down pick list. (To install to main memory, click Yes.)
Step 2: When CoPilot has been installed to your Pocket PC (this will take a
few minutes),you will be prompted to begin the desktop/laptop
installation. Click Next and follow the on-screen instructions.
Step 3: When the installation is complete,a CoPilot icon will appear on your
desktop. See Step 5, Activate the software, for software activation.

1.Open the CoPilot application on your desktop/laptop, then
click the Data DownloadWizard icon in the sidebar on the left.

drive letter of your storage card reader.Click Next.
NOTE: If data is stored on the device's memory and also on a Storage
Card in the device,CoPilot will use the Storage Card by default. To have it
use map data on device memory, you must remove the Storage Card.
(2) Select a Data Area:
Select City Radius to create a data region of a specified radius around
a city of your choice:
1. In the City, State or ZIP Code box,type a City, State (e.g.new
york,ny) and press <Enter>.
2. Specify the Distance Around City to Download (e.g. 60) and
press <Enter>. Click Next.
3. Your selected data region will be displayed. A window will appear
showing how much space you have available on your selected
destination (see Choose a Storage Location above) and how much
memory this data region will take up. If necessary, adjust the radius
to make sure your data region will fit on your selected destination.
Click Next.
4. Give your data region a name and click Next.
5. You will then be given the option to either select additional map data
or download selected areas to your Pocket PC. Click Download.

1. Clicking the Download icon will take you to a screen where
Available Area(s) for download are displayed on the left.

Data Download to Your Pocket PC
To use CoPilot 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 CoPilot
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 CoPilot application on your desk-
top/laptop,then click the Data DownloadWizard icon or pick Data Download
Wizard from the File menu.
CoPilot 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.

1.To download to Pocket PC
Device Memory:
(In this example, CoPilot has
detected that there is no Storage
Card in the device.) Click Next
to go to the Data Selection window.
See CoPilot QuickStart, p. 14,for a
description of software included in
downloads. See p.24 for Options.
2.To download to a Storage
Card in the device:
(In this example, CoPilot 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. 14,for a description
of software included in downloads.
See p.24 for Options.- 13 -
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.24 for Options.
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.
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 along with the data. Having the
QuickStart version on your Storage Card ensures that CoPilot 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 on it 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. 23). 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“2577”.

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. 17 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 on the map. 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.
You can zoom the map in and
out using the zoom buttons and
adjust the size of the data area
by redrawing the box.
Trip - TheTrip 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 destina-
tion,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 TripTransfer,
p.24).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.
RECOMMENDED OPTION: It is recommended that you leave Create
QuickStart checked (see p.14 for a description of this feature). However, you
may uncheck it if you don’t want the QuickStart copied with your download.
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.
CoPilot 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
CoPilot now transfers whole trips to your Pocket PC when you use the Trip
option for data downloading. Any trip you create for download, including its
Itinerary, is transferred along with the surrounding data corridor and will become
the current trip on your Pocket PC.
The Trip download option creates a .TRP file that is placed in the Save directory
in the CoPilot installation folder on your 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 the
SavedTrip stop entry option on your Pocket PC to open stored .TRP files.
