A Sample Trip Suppose you’re delivering a load to the campus of Princeton University in Princeton, New Jersey. You know the address of your destination, but you're unfamiliar with the area. Never mind, CoPilot will guide you every step of the way! First, you enter your destination. (You won’t need to enter a starting place – if your GPS receiver is picking up signals, CoPilot already knows where you're starting from.) In Guidance Mode, you click Destination, then Add, then Address.
Sample Trip on the Map 1. Driving on Witherspoon Street into Princeton, NJ 3. CoPilot automatically creates a new route from your current position 2.
Planning Mode After launching CoPilot you can access Planning Mode by clicking the Planning Mode button from the welcome screen or the Planning button in the guidance screen. In Planning Mode you can run trips on your desktop to print and take with you or save for a later time, search for points of interest, calculate fuel costs, add favorite places, add custom places, and much more. For additional information on Planning Mode see CoPilot’s Help Files (select Help Contents and Search from the Help menu).
Cities and Addresses To enter a trip, begin by typing the name of the place where your trip will start or a postal code in the City, State (or City, Country) box (e.g. “princeton, nj” or “paris, fr” or “08540”), then press the Enter key. Do not include periods in the state/country abbreviation. A list of matches to your entry may appear; if so, highlight the one you want on the list and click Select.
Points of Interest When you select the Points of Interest tab, it will open with the cursor in the POIs that start with box. The only field that is required to perform a POI search is City/State (or City/Country); all other fields are optional. Once you have entered a city, you can do one or more of the following to narrow down your search: select a POI Category, select an of Type option, or enter the first few letters of the Place name. You can also change the distance within which you want to search.
Itinerary Buttons Regardless of the tab you select, the same commands will remain in the bottom of the Trip Planner window. To the right of the Itinerary you will see five buttons. Using the Up/Down arrows you can alter the order of the stops on your Itinerary. Using the Zoom button you can zoom to the selected stop on a map. The Delete Stop button allows you to remove stops from your trip. And the Add Fav button lets you add a stop entered on your Itinerary to your saved list of favorite places (see p.

A round trip includes all intermediate stops on the way to your destination, but routes directly from your destination back to your starting place.
Override Restrictions: Check to activate Light Vehicle routing. CoPilot Truck always avoids truck-prohibited roads, but checking this option allows truck-restricted roads to be considered for a route. If this option is left unchecked, Heavy Vehicle routing will be in effect, so both truck-prohibited and truck-restricted roads will always be avoided. In addition, Heavy Vehicle routing takes nationwide 13' 6" height restrictions into account.
State Mileage Report To generate a state mileage report for any trip you run in the Trip Planner window, open the File menu and choose State Mileage Report. In the report window, click Export if you want to save your state mileages in a .txt file. Printing Your Map or Driving Directions After you run a trip, the Trip Summary window will pop up over a split screen displaying the map of your trip and detailed driving directions.
Beyond the Basics If you’re familiar with the basic features of CoPilot, you’re probably ready to try some of the advanced features. Some of these features are briefly described on the following pages. For more information on advanced features see the Legend on page 59 of this manual, and see Trip Planning: Beyond the Basics in the Help Files (under Planning Mode in the Contents tab).
Adding Custom Places CoPilot gives you the ability to add new places with your own custom names to the map database. After adding your custom place to the map database, you'll be able to enter it as a start place, end place, or waypoint for any trip you run. To add a new place, click on the Add Custom Places button on the tool bar or select Add Custom Places from the sub-menu of Mouse Modes in the Map menu.
Avoiding and Favoring Roads CoPilot gives you the ability to avoid or favor specific road segments. This Planning Mode feature is handy when you want your route to avoid a traffic jam or road construction, and can also be used to guide a trip along a route you know you want to take. To avoid or favor a road, first click either the Avoid or Favor button on the tool bar, then click on a road segment on the map. Zoom your map view in as far as you need to in order to pick the right segment.
Importing Custom Places CoPilot’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.) These points are then added to CoPilot’s POI database, in a category and type of your choice.
Editing Custom Places After custom places have been added to the database, they can be edited at any time. Select Manage Custom Places from the Tools menu, then highlight the custom place you wish to edit, click Edit, and make your changes. Click Apply when finished. NOTE: By default, addresses entered as Custom Places are assigned to the Custom POI category. You can change this assignment at any time by selecting another Category from the drop-down pick list as you edit.
Customizing Your Driving Directions Display CoPilot gives you precise, turn-by-turn driving directions, plus time and distance calculations for every trip you run between a start place and a destination. Print these directions, and/or customize them by editing the font CoPilot uses and by controlling the number of “nearby places” -- that is, landmarks or places of interest in the area surrounding your route -- that appear in the report.
To control the number and type of landmarks reported, select Landmark Reporting from the Trip menu to open the Landmark Reporting dialog box. NOTE: You can use these options in Planning Mode, but not in Guidance Mode. Use the slide bar under Find landmarks within this distance of your route to control the size of the area around your route in which landmarks should be reported.

CoPilot Live Communications CoPilot Truck allows you to maintain two-way communication with drivers who are using CoPilot and to actually see where they are currently located. You can do this from the CoPilot Live web page. Using CoPilot Live functionality requires the following: 1) If you want to track and message other drivers from a desktop or laptop computer: Your PC must be connected to the internet so that you can access our CoPilot Live web page through a normal web browser.
Set Up a CoPilot Live Web Account To use Live capabilities, your laptop PC must have a wireless Internet connection. To create your account on the CoPilot Live website: 1. Go to the web site for your region: • North America: http://live.alk.com • Europe: http://live.alk.eu.com 2. Choose an Account Name and Password that you will use to login to the CoPilot Live network. 3. Fill in the rest of the required information. 4. Click “Submit” to create your account.
4. In the window that opens, enter a Screen Name that will identify you to the person on the other end for messaging and tracking. (This name can be changed as many times as you like.) You can also use the Send position information pick list to change the interval at which your vehicle’s position will be updated as you are tracked. Click OK to continue. 5. The first time you do this, a message will pop up that informs you about the CoPilot Live setup process.
Driving with Live — Invitations Using CoPilot Live's Invitations, you can send a tracking number to friends and family via e-mail so they can see where you are and communicate with you as you drive. Each e-mail Invitation — similar to an e-card — contains a link to the CoPilot Live Web page, a tracking number, and an invitation to the recipient to log on to the CoPilot Live Network. (To see an Invitation, try sending yourself one using the instructions below.
Driving with Live - Receiving Messages When you are the driver and a message is sent to you, CoPilot displays it on top of all other windows. CoPilot's text-to-speech engine will speak the text of the message out loud when the message is received. If you hit the Defer button (see below) or do not respond within the time limit you have set (see p. 54), the message will be put in a queue and the Hidden Messages button in the lower right corner of the Guidance screen will light up.
Driving with Live - Receive Trip Itinerary Updates When you are the driver and a Trip Itinerary Update is sent to you, CoPilot displays it on top of all other windows. CoPilot's text-to-speech engine will speak the itinerary update when it is received. You have the option to use the four Standard Response Buttons (see p. 56). You can also Accept or Decline the change to your trip itinerary.
CoPilot Live Real-time Traffic Reporting NOTE: Traffic is an optional additional-cost service and is not available in all areas. In addition to providing pre-trip planning, GPS route guidance, and Live messaging capabilities, CoPilot Truck uses wireless Live communications to automatically send realtime information to drivers, notifying them of traffic incidents along the route ahead and creating potential alternate routing.
Check Traffic Click the Check Traffic button to see all traffic incidents on the route ahead between your current position and your destination. CoPilot will take a few seconds to check for incidents. If any incidents are found, they are reported one by one beginning with the one closest to you. You will see them on the map (see p.
Review and Clear Traffic The Check Traffic button in the Live Options window brings up only new incidents along your route that have not been reported yet. To review the traffic incidents that were already reported, click the Review Traffic button. To clear the traffic incident queue so that Check Traffic brings up every incident, click Clear Traffic.
Map Display of Incidents Traffic incidents are represented on CoPilot Live’s maps by the triangular icons shown below. These icons reflect the location(s) and type of traffic congestion ahead on your route.
Creating/Using Your Own Voice You can create your own voice or load voices that other CoPilot users have created and posted online. To do this, create a folder with any name you want and copy sound files with the exact names of the CoPilot sound files. The CoPilot sound file names and their associate dialogs are: File Name 100y.wav 150y.wav 1kmWarning 1miWarning 200mWarning 200y.wav 250y.wav 2kmWarning 2miWarning 300y.wav 350y.wav 3tenthmiWarning 400y.wav 450y.wav 500mWarning 500y.wav 50y.

Trouble-shooting First things to check: Are all cables properly secured? Do all components have adequate power? Does your GPS receiver have a clear view of the sky? (Buildings, mountains and heavy foliage may block your satellite reception.) Why can't I get a satellite fix the first time I use CoPilot? The first time the GPS receiver is used it can take approximately 15 minutes to acquire a signal. This should not be the case with subsequent uses.
Another alternative is to purchase an audio cassette adapter equipped with a cord and jack that you can plug into your laptop's speaker jack, then put the cassette into your car's stereo cassette player. This will channel CoPilot's commands through your car's stereo system if it's set to play audio tapes. NOTE: Please don't drive with headphones on because this is unsafe! When I try to run CoPilot I get a message that says “CoPilot Can't Find the Data Disc”, and the program won't start. What can I do? 1.
B. Next, you need to check that CoPilot is looking to this drive to locate the Data Disc. In the example below, your CD-ROM is the D drive. Your drive letter may be different. To do this: 1. Go to your Start button/Programs/Windows Explorer and click on the drive letter which corresponds to your hard drive (usually C). 2. Within drive C, find the folder Program Files and double-click on it so that all of your program folders are listed. 3. Find the "CoPilot Live" folder and double-click on it. 4.
2. Is the GPS unit plugged into the serial or USB port? A. The serial port is a 9-pin port usually on the back of your laptop. One end of the GPS unit cord should have a 9-pin head that should plug easily into your serial port. If you've checked the port connection, see question 3. 3. Are the port settings correct for the Com port? NOTE: CoPilot uses Com 1 as the default Com port. Some computers may have more than one Com port. You will need to test each Com port starting with Com 1. A.
E. Next in the Com Port Properties window the settings should read: -- Bits Per Second = 4800 -- Data Bits = 8 -- Parity = None -- Stop Bits = 1 -- Flow Control = Hardware If the settings are different you need to make the necessary changes and then click OK. If the GPS unit has power and is able to connect, you will see information flowing across the screen (random letter and numbers).
Data Corrections The ALK map database undergoes constant revision as we strive to provide you with the highest quality product. Revisions include the addition of new roads, roadway upgrades, and the addition of new streets and addresses. If you encounter missing or inaccurate map data, please contact us so that we can include it in our updates.
Using the CoPilot Help Files In Planning Mode, CoPilot provides extensive built-in Help to guide you through the program. Click on the Help button in a window 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 to a topic that describes the Trip Planner window. From there, you can navigate through other topics, use the Help Index, or do a search using the Search feature.
Appendix A: PC*MILER Route Types & Options The industry-standard PC*MILER route types and options described below are included with CoPilot Truck. PC*MILER Practical Routing Practical Routes represent distances and driving routes that a driver would normally take to minimize time and cost. Practical Routes model the trade-off between taking the most direct path and staying on major, high quality highways.
National Network mileages tend to be higher than Shortest or Practical mileages. These designated highways permit, at a minimum, 102” wide, single 48 ft. trailers and tandem 28 ft. trailers. The Interstate system and most, but not all, remaining designated routes are open to 80,000 pound vehicles. Certain states, notably Arkansas and Mississippi, have designated certain National Network segments with less than an 80,000 pound capacity.
PC*MILER Heavy/Light Vehicle Routing In addition to the five basic route types, the Heavy and Light Vehicle routing option is also a critical setting. (A “heavy vehicle” is one weighing at least 80,000 pounds; a “light vehicle” weighs less than 80,000 pounds.) The Override Restrictions routing option controls this setting (Guidance Mode > Options > Routing). When checked, Light Vehicle routing is in effect.
