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. 17 for step-by-step instructions.

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 country abbreviation or postal code and enter the number of kilo- meters 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.

City Radius

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 redrawing the box.

Map Area

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.

The Trip Itinerary for each trip you down- load will be stored on your Pocket PC (see Trip Transfer, p. 24). Multiple trips can be downloaded to the Pocket PC for later use.

Trip

Region - This method lets you 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 downloads generally take the

longest amount of time, dependingRegion on the size of the selected region.
