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 reading 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.

Why does it take so long to find the satellites?

When the GPS unit is first initialized it can take several minutes for the receiver to locate the satellites in orbit. Be sure that the GPS receiver has an unobstructed view of the sky.

What do I do if the computer will not recognize my voice commands?

First make sure the necessary speech software is installed. From the Windows Start menu, go to Settings/Control Panel, then Add/Remove Programs, and check for Watson on the list in the Install/Uninstall tab. If it is not there, you will need to uninstall/reinstall CoPilot, being sure to click OK when prompted to install the speech software. Next, in Planning Mode go to the Edit menu. Select Preferences and then select Speech. Make sure the boxes next to Listen for voice commands and Speak feedback out loud are both checked.

I have two hard drives and would like to install the Data to my second hard drive. How do I do this?

Note: For the instructions below, C represents your first hard drive and D represents your second hard drive.

Once CoPilot has been installed on the first hard drive (C) follow these simple instructions:

1.Insert a Data CD (East or West) into the CD-ROM drive.

2.Double click on My Computer

3.Double Click on your CD-ROM drive.

4.Double click on the Install folder.
