Customizing the Guidance Screens

The lines above the ETA in CoPilot’s guidance screens can be customized. (In the Driver Safety screen there are two lines, in the Map Screen there is one.) Tap the bottom of the screen, then tap Tools > Options > Guidance. Use the Custom Display pick lists to set these lines to show your current road, nearest crossroad, nearest major road, nearest town, ETA, or speed. Another way to change these lines is by tapping on them to toggle through the options.

Several map features can also be customized. See Tools Menu Options, p. 49-51 for all the available options.

Map Modes

CoPilot gives you a choice of several different display modes for the Map Screen:

3D Perspective

CoPilot’s two-dimensional default display mode can be changed to a three-dimensional perspective based off an isometric camera angle.

To change to 3D, tap the bottom of the map display to invoke the menu bar, then tap

Tools > Options > Map.

Check Display 3D Map.

Night Mode

Night Mode is available in 2D or 3D (3D perspective is shown to the right). It dims the PDA display and a darker map display is used to reduce glare and eye strain while driving with CoPilot at night. CoPilot automatically switches to Night Mode based on your location and current time. To switch modes manually, use Left on the Directional Pad to toggle them.

Route Over

Route Over highlighting outlines your route in black on the map for more visibility. This option is turned on by default.

To turn the Route Over option off, tap the bottom of the map display to invoke the menu bar, then tap Tools > Options > Map. Uncheck Route Over.
