to download from one or more regions (“data areas”) that you specify in the
CoPilot Live 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 Live application on your
desktop/laptop,then click the Data Download Wizard icon or pick Data
Download Wizard from the File menu.
CoPilot Live gives you three options for downloading data:
1) directly to the Pocket device's memory,

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 Live has
detected that there is no Storage
Card in the device.) Click Next
to go to the Data Selection window.
See CoPilot QuickStar t, p. 10, for a
description of software included in
downloads. See p.20 for Options.
2.To download to a Storage
Card in the device:
(In this example, CoPilot Live 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. 10, for a description
of software included in downloads.
See p.20 for Options.

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.20 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 Live along with the data. Having the
QuickStart version on your Storage Card ensures that CoPilot Live 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 P ocket 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. 19). 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 Download Wizard screen before proceeding to download. You will
also want to uncheck this option if you do not hav e enough room on y our
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.
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 page 13 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 Download Wizard
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.
The Wizard 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 Download Wizard's map screen.
In the Wizard, 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
Download Wizard 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.
The Trip Itinerary for each trip
you download will be stored on
your Pocket PC (see Trip
Transfer,p. 20). Multiple trips can
be downloaded to the Pocket
PC for later use.
