The following is a summary guide to the screens and toolbars you will see on your Pocket PC as you operate CoPilot in Guidance Mode.

Welcome Screen

The Welcome screen appears when you first open CoPilot. If you don’t want to see it at startup, uncheck Show this screen at startup. This screen can be accessed from the Tools menu at any time. Welcome screen options are:

 Going To to enter a destination and receive guidance

 Tutorial for first-time users

 Help topics about basics such as trip entry, hardware setup, and options

 GPS to set up your GPS

 Options to change CoPilot routing, guidance, and map options

Going To Screen

This screen displays a scrollable list of all stops in the current trip, numbered in the order CoPilot will route to them.

Tap and hold the stylus on a stop to open a menu that lets you delete the stop, zoom to it on the map, move it up or down on the list, or make it a way- point (an unreported stop that guides your route along preferred roads). You can also optimize the stop order for a more efficient route using this menu.

Tap Add Stop to enter another stop in the Going To screen, New Trip to delete all stops and start a new trip, or Start Driving to receive guidance.
