No GPS Signal

When you see this screen it means that CoPilot is not receiving data from the GPS unit.

1)Check that all your connections have been made correctly, and that all wires are secure.

2)Make sure your receiver is plugged into your vehicle's power source.

3)In the drop-down GPS menu on your Pocket PC, be sure Receiving is checked.

Determining Current Position

When you see this screen, CoPilot is in the process of determining where you are. This can take a few seconds. The picture under the text will indicate how close you are to acquiring a fix.

Heavy foliage, tall buildings, or any other structures obstructing communications may 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.

Driver Safety Screen

The Driver Safety Screen automatically displays when your vehicle travels at more than 10 m.p.h. If you are a passenger and want to see the map at this point, tap the top or bottom of the screen, tap the Change View toolbar button and then the Map button (see Navigating Through CoPilot Screens, p. 43).
