Trip Planning on Your Desktop

You can use CoPilot's desktop functions to map out routes and print

maps and driving directions before getting on the road. Desktop trip planning is an additional feature of CoPilot that is in no way connected to using your Pocket PC for route guidance.

On the following pages you will find brief descriptions of CoPilot’s desktop trip planning capabilities. For more detailed descriptions, open CoPilot Help from the desktop application (Help menu > Help Contents and Search, or click the Help button on the toolbar). Go to Desktop Trip Planning in the Contents tab.

To begin planning a trip on your desktop, click the Planning icon in the sidebar to the left of the map. Using the drop-down menus you can select from a number of planning features. Many of these features can also be accessed from the toolbar. Place your cursor on any toolbar button without clicking to see what it does.
