NOTE: It is not safe to attempt to alter settings on your Pocket PC while you are driving. Either have a passenger make changes, or pull over to a safe area.

The Driver Safety Screen displays a text-only screen when your speed exceeds 16 k.p.h. and is the recommended view for safe driving. When you’re within about 1 kilometer of a turn or driving less than 16 k.p.h., CoPilot automatically switches to the map display.
