Also make sure to properly set the time and date on your Pocket PC. The first acquisition can take from 5 to 15 minutes, and you can minimize this time by positioning the GPS receiver with a clear view of the sky. Once initialized, the unit should acquire satellite signals in 40 seconds or less.

Install/Data Discs Quick Start Guide GPS Receiver Guide GPS Receiver (not in software-only packages) In-Vehicle Power Adapter (not in software-only packages) Vent Mount (not in software-only packages) Do not use this product in any way that interferes with safe and attentive operation of a vehicle.
Getting Started - Hardware Getting Started - Get Connected Both your desktop/laptop and your Pocket PC must be turned on. The cradle/cable for your mobile device must be connected to your desktop/laptop computer through either the USB or Serial port. In order to successfully transfer data from your desktop to your Pocket PC, you must have Microsoft ActiveSync 3.1 (or later) installed. This software is necessary to connect the two machines and is provided by your Pocket PC manufacturer.
Uninstalling a Previous Version Installing CoPilot If you have been using an earlier version of Pocket CoPilot, you must uninstall the application and its data before installing CoPilot. If you’re uninstalling CoPilot from a Pocket device and installing the same version on another device, you must deactivate the software on the first device before installing it again — see p. 12. NOTE: You must uninstall any previous version of CoPilot from your desktop/laptop and Pocket PC before proceeding (see above).
4. The Installation Wizard will then start installing to your Pocket PC, beginning with the text-to-speech software that delivers CoPilot’s spoken driving instructions. Text-to-speech provides more detailed voice instructions, including road names. Prerecorded sound files are louder and crisper, but provide less detailed driving instructions. The pre-recorded option saves space on your Pocket PC. Click Next to continue. 5. Next, you will be prompted to choose an installation location on the Pocket PC.
Adding a Data Region Region Selection If you have purchased an additional data region after your initial purchase of CoPilot, you will need to modify the original (“Base”) installation and activate the new region. If you purchased an additional data region, when downloading map data to your Pocket PC you will need to make sure the proper region is active. To do this, on your desktop in Planning mode, click the Map menu > Region > and check the desired region.
Software Activation Deactivation and Licence Update NOTE: CoPilot won’t open on your Pocket PC unless map data has previously been downloaded from CoPilot on the desktop. The CoPilot desktop software contains street-level maps for all of Europe, and CoPilot is offered with different licences that allow you to use some or all of these maps on your Pocket PC.
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.

Data Download Step 2: Choose a Data Selection Method 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 streetlevel data within that box will be selected.
Data Download Step 3: Select Your Data Use any of the methods covered on the following pages (City Radius, Map Area, or Trip) to select one or more regions and then download your data.

Also included with each download are regional points of interest (POI) such as gas stations, hotels, restaurants, visitor attractions, etc. When you’re ready to execute a download, the Wizard will display a list of Available Area(s) for download on the left side of the window.
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 (the default category is “Custom”).
Editing Custom Places in the Database 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.

Detour Feature Selective Routing CoPilot’s Detour Feature allows you to preview an alternate route before deciding whether or not to take it. Perfect for situations in which traffic has suddenly slowed ahead of you, the Detour Feature will generate an alternate route and tell you exactly how much distance the new route will add to your trip. You can then make an informed decision about whether you’re better off driving through the delay or taking the new route.
Tools Menu Options Guidance In the Guidance tab, the settings under Speak Turn Warning At determine how often and where CoPilot will give you next turn information out loud. All, none, or some boxes can be checked.
