TravRoute CoPilot 2002 manual How CoPilot Uses GPS

obstructing satellite 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 will continue tracking as soon as adequate signals are available. NOTE: The GPS unit should be placed far forward on the dashboard to maximize the satellite reception area.

How CoPilot Uses GPS

CoPilot uses the GPS positional data it receives from the GPS receiver to display your current position and route on a map as you drive. This is called "tracking". CoPilot also uses the GPS data it receives to "navigate", that is, to guide you along your planned route, provided you enter a destination. If you enter a destination you will be given navigation instructions, and your route will be tracked on the map. If you do not enter a destination, your route will be tracked as you drive, but you will not be given directions as CoPilot has no way of knowing your destination.
