Data Download to Your Pocket PC
To use CoPilot Live 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 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,
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.
- 10 -
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.
- 9 -
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.

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 the Trip 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. 10 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.
CoPilot Live 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 Download Wizard,click the Options button in the Wizard. 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.
T rip T r ansfer
CoPilot Live 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 Open Trip in the pop-up Tools menu to open a stored .TRP file.

Importing Custom Places
CoPilot Live’s Custom Place Import Wizard 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 CoPilot Live.) 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 the Trip Planner window on your desktop/laptop.
To access the Wizard,choose Import Custom Places from the Tools menu in Planning Mode on the desktop,then follow the step-by-step instructions given by the Wizard.
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.

Selective Routing
CoPilot Live allows you to be selective about the roads you take on your trip. There are two ways to do this: 1) you can customize your Trip Itinerary in Guidance mode so that CoPilot will avoid certain roads;or 2) you can guide CoPilot’s route by entering stops as “waypoints”.
Avoiding a Road in the Trip Itinerar y
Tailoring Your Route Using Waypoints
CoPilot Live lets you customize a route by designating some stops as “waypoints”. Waypoints appear on the Itinerary but they’re not treated like stops in Guidance Mode and or in routing instructions. You can enter a waypoint along a road you want CoPilot to use,and CoPilot will guide you through the waypoint along that road toward your destination.
To designate a location as a waypoint,enter it as a stop in the Edit T rip screen. Tap and hold the location on the Going To list until a menu pops up,then choose Set as Waypoint. Waypoints appear on the Going T o list preceded by “>>” instead of a stop number. To turn the location into a stop again,repeat and choose Set as Stop. You can set as many waypoints as you like on a trip;however,CoPilot will always recognize the last address in the GoingTo list as a stop.
3. Tap the Avoid button, and CoPilot will calculate a new route that avoids that road. You can customize your trip only once.
1. Switch to the Itinerar y screen by tapping on the View Itinerary button. The Itinerar y screen provides a list of all roads that you will be traveling on if you have entered at least one destination. Once in the Itinerary screen,you can edit your route using the Avoid button.

CoPilot Live Communications
CoPilot Live now allows you to maintain two-way communication with drivers who are using CoPilot and to actually see where they are currently located using your home or office PC.
Using this CoPilot Live functionality requires the following:
1) CoPilot Live open on your home or office PC. Your PC must be connected to the internet.
2) CoPilot Live running in the vehicle. Your Pocket PC must have a wireless internet connection. (Visit our website at www.alk.com/cp4 for a list of recommended hardware configurations.)
To begin using CoPilot Live functionality on your desktop,click the Live icon on the sidebar to the left of the map. The upper portion of the new pane that opens is the Vehicle List. Your connection to the CoPilot Live network is displayed above the Vehicle List.
The login ID of the driver is displayed on the Vehicle List,with columns for the vehicle's next stop,ETA,speed, location, and time of last update. To see all columns,expand the pane by placing the cursor on the right edge until it becomes an arrow and dragging.
Below the Vehicle List is the Message Center. The text of sent and received messages will appear here.
NOTE: All of CoPilot Live's communications are done in real-time. This means information is only transferred when the driver in the vehicle and a user on a home/office PC are using CoPilot Live at the same time. In this sense CoPilot Live communication is similar to using a telephone - communication only occurs when both parties are on at the same time.
ALK does not actively log a driver's location information,nor do we use this information for any purpose other than to transfer it to a home/office user.

Under Tools > Live tap the Messenger tab. From here you can toggle messaging on or off and specify how often data is transferred.
Depending on the plan offered by your wireless data service provider, sending less data at infrequent intervals will be more cost-effective.
Tapping on the Login tab will give you the ability to change your screen name as it appears on the home/office PC.

Using your GPS tracks, we will be able to enhance the street-level system to provide even more accurate map data with each new release.
About GPS Technology
The Global Positioning System (GPS),developed by the U.S.Department of Defense, is a constellation of 24 satellites that orbit the Earth twice daily. Each satellite contains an atomic clock that is accurate to the nanosecond,and constantly emitting radio waves toward Earth. GPS sensors (hardware devices for receiving data) can receive these signals from the satellites,and using their own internal clock can calculate the amount of time it has taken for the signal to be received. GPS relies on the fact that radio waves travel at the speed of light to calculate distances,and the exact location of the sensor is figured by combining the data received from four satellites. Using the data from these four satellites, GPS is able to give you the latitude, longitude and elevation of your present location,and also your road speed and direction of travel on a route. Given the right conditions, a GPS sensor can identify your geographic position anywhere in the world within a matter of a few meters.
How CoPilot Live Uses GPS
CoPilot Live uses the GPS positional data that it receives from the hardware unit you place on your dashboard to display your current position on a map as you drive. This is called "tracking". CoPilot also uses the GPS data it receives to guide you along your planned route,provided you enter a destination on your Pocket PC. CoPilot Live guides you with audible prompts as you drive as well as on-screen directions.
Tracking will begin automatically when you have satellite reception. In order to get route guidance you have to enter a destination on your Pocket PC. Tracking may also be used without receiving guidance instructions when you’re in Navigating Mode. In this case, you'll see your trip tracked on the map on your Pocket PC as you drive, but you won't see a highlighted route on the map and you won't be given driving directions.
GPS Accuracy
The GPS signal CoPilot Live receives from the constellation of satellites has a rated accuracy of within 5 - 10 meters. This means that 95% of the time the reported location is within 15 - 30 feet of your exact position. CoPilot takes this location information and enhances it further by "snapping" it to our street and highway network. Occasionally,CoPilot will place you on the wrong road. If this occurs,keep driving and CoPilot will automatically correct itself and find your proper position.
At times,CoPilot Live's GPS tracking will be less accurate or fail to work at all because the unit is unable to receive satellite signals. Heavy foliage,tall buildings, or any other structures obstructing communications will interfere with CoPilot's ability to track your location. Like your car radio,GPS tracking can also be affected by weather conditions if severe. CoPilot Live will continue tracking as soon as adequate signals are available. Despite these limitations, you can expect CoPilot Live to provide you with useable and accurate information most of the time. CoPilot Live will alert you if accurate information is unavailable.

The first time the GPS receiver is used it may take approximately 5 minutes to acquire a signal (but may take as long as 15 minutes). You can minimize this time by remaining stationary and positioning the GPS receiver so that it has a clear view of the southern sky. Once initialized, the unit should acquire satellite signals in 40 seconds or less in the future.
HHooww ccaann II ssppeeeedd uupp ssaatteelllliittee aaccqquuiissiittiioonn??
Be sure that the GPS receiver has an unobstructed view of the sky. Trees, build­ings,and other obstacles are capable of blocking the satellite signals.

CoPilot Live provides voice prompts each time you come up on your next turn. In order to hear these prompts you need to be sure the volume on your Pocket PC is turned all the way up. On the Pocket PC in the Start menu go to Settings, and click on Sounds & Reminders. Under System volume move the slide bar all the way to the right.
You can also use your Pocket PC’s keypad to adjust the volume. Tap up to increase the volume,tap down to decrease it.
GPS PROBLEMS
If you do not get a GPS signal please check the following:
1. Under GPS make sure there is a check mark next to Receiving.
2. If not please tap on receiving to check it on. If you can not place a check mark next to receiving by tapping on it please hit the Reset button located on the bottom or back of your Pocket PC while our program is open and the GPS unit is connected.
3. Once you hit the reset button open the program again and make sure there is a check mark next to Receiving. Your GPS unit should now acquire a satellite fix.
Using Help Files
CoPilot Live provides extensive Help Files, available on your desktop/laptop and your Pocket PC, to guide you through the program as you use it.
To access Help on your Pocket PC,once the CoPilot Live application is launched, tap the Tools pop-up menu at the bottom of the screen and select Help.
Click on the Help button in any window in the desktop application to open a Help topic that describes how to use that window. For example, if you're entering a stop in the Trip Planner window, the Help button will open Help at the topic Entering Additional Stops. From there, you can navigate through other topics, or do a search on a topic using the Search tab.
Another way to access the Help Files on your desktop is through the Help menu. Contents and Search will open Help at the Table of Contents, which displays the main topics available. Topic Search opens the Search tab.
