ALK Technologies Pocket PC 6 manual Trip Editing and Waypoints, Getting ETA’s and Distances

Trip Editing and Waypoints

To get to the Going To screen from the guidance screens at any time, tap Menu

>Trip > Edit. From here you can edit the current trip, add additional stops, or start a new trip.

Tap any stop on your itinerary to activate a pop-up menu that lets you delete the stop, zoom to it on the map, or move it up or down to change the stop order. This menu also lets you designate a stop as a “waypoint” (tap Set as Waypoint). Waypoints are not considered as stops in the Itinerary, their purpose is to guide CoPilot’s route calculations along roads that you choose. To change a waypoint back to a stop, choose Set as Stop from the menu. Waypoints appear with “>>” instead of a stop number on the list of destinations.

CoPilot ignores waypoints when calculating the ETA and distance to the next stop, so settings waypoints can be used to get the ETA and distance to a stop that is not your next stop (see Getting ETA’s and Distances below).

Getting ETA’s and Distances

The estimated time of arrival (ETA) and distance to your next stop will always be shown in the lower left corner of the Map and Driver Safety screens. After entering a destination, tap Start Driving to see the ETA/ distance.

If your trip has multiple stops and you want to know the ETA for a destination that is not the next stop, designate the stops between your current location and the target stop as waypoints (tap each one and choose Set as Waypoint in the menu that pops up).

Picking Stops From the Map

CoPilot enables you to pick a stop off the map when you don’t know the exact address of your destination. In any mode, tap and hold on your target location on the map. (A short tap displays street names if you’re not sure where you are pointing.) In the screen that appears, enter a name for the place you picked and tap Apply. The new place will be added to your trip itinerary.

Optimizing Stops

To rearrange the stops on your trip in the most efficient order, tap one of the stops in the Going To screen. Select Optimize Stops from the menu that pops. You must have at least three stops to optimize — the destination always remains the same.
