Data Download

Step 2: Choose a Data Selection Method

After you specify a location where the data will be stored, you will be prompted to select a region on the map to download. CoPilot allows you to download data using one of the three methods described below.

See Data Download Step 3 beginning on p. 9 for step-by-step instructions for downloading data to your Pocket PC using each of these three methods.

City Radius - This method allows you to quickly select data in the shape of a circle surrounding any city on the map. In the Data Download Wizard you type a city name and state abbreviation or ZIP code and enter the number of

miles you would like the radius to extend around the city, then click Next.

The Wizard displays a map that shows the city and the radius you chose. At this point you can zoom the map in and out using zoom buttons and adjust the size of the data area by altering the radius of the circle.

Map Area - This method of selecting data allows you to choose an area of data by drawing a box on the Data Download Wizard's map screen. In the Wizard, you enter a city name near which you would like to select data, then click Next. The map will zoom to that location. Then you create a box around the desired area by

clicking and dragging your mouse across the map. The street-level data within that box will be selected.

You can zoom the map in and out using the zoom buttons and adjust the size of the data area by redraw- ing the box.

Trip - The Trip method of selecting data is by far the most customizable method. This option allows you to run a trip and select street-level data specific to that trip, thereby avoiding unneeded data and saving valuable memory space. Once the trip is run, the Data Download Wizard automatically selects circles of data around your

origin and destination, and a corridor of data along your route. You can then click Options to adjust the radius of the circles and the width of the corridor.

download map data for a whole

 

 

 

country or region. The region you

 

 

 

select must be included in the region

 

 

 

that was installed on your Pocket PC,

 

 

 

otherwise a warning will appear and you

 

 

 

won’t be able to download data. Region

amount of time, depending on the size

of the selected region.
