Trouble-shooting

Why can't I get a satellite reading the first time I use Pocket CoPilot?

The first time the GPS receiver is used it may take approximately 5 minutes to acquire a fix (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.

How can I speed up satellite acquisition?

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.

In the drive screen on my Pocket PC I am receiving turn-by-turn instructions in the black box, but my CoPilot is not speaking. Why is that?

CoPilot 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. Or use your Pocket PC’s keypad to adjust the vol- ume. Tap up to increase the volume, tap down to decrease it.

From within CoPilot on your Pocket PC, you can also select Options in the Tools menu, then tap the Guidance tab and be sure that Amplify Speech Volume is checked.

GPS PROBLEMS

If you are not getting a GPS signal please check the following:

1.In the GPS menu, make sure there is a check mark next to Receiving.

2.If not, tap on Receiving to turn it on. If you cannot place a

check mark next to receiving by tapping on it, try using your Pocket

PC’s Reset button (located on the bottom or back of the device) while CoPilot is open and the GPS unit is connected.

3.After you hit the Reset button, open the program again and make sure Receiving is checked in the GPS menu. Your GPS unit should now acquire a satellite fix.

Also be aware that 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 will continue tracking as soon as adequate signals are available.

Using Help Files

CoPilot 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 application is launched, tap the Tools pop-up menu at the bottom of the screen and select Help.

In the desktop application, click on the Help button in any 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 at the topic Entering Additional Stops. From there, you can navigate through other topics, or do a search for information 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 with the Contents tab displaying the main topics available. Topic Search opens the Search tab, where you can do a word search.
