Modes Menu
CoPilot has four modes of operation on the mobile device. Tap the pop-up Mode menu at the
bottom of the screen to select Guidance, Navigating, Walking, or Planning Mode.
Guidance Mode
In Guidance Mode, you enter one or more destinations,
then tap the Start Driving button to start driving and
receive guidance. This mode provides you with on-screen
and spoken driving directions and other information
relevant to your trip, such as estimated time of arrival
and distance to the next stop.
Navigating Mode
While in Navigating Mode, CoPilot will track your position as you drive. Unlike in Guidance
Mode, you won’t receive turn instructions or voice prompts.
This tracking feature is an ideal way to see your location on the map if you don’t want to be
distracted by CoPilot’s guidance features.
Walking Mode
Take CoPilot with you wherever you go! Walking Mode provides an as-the-crow-flies distance
and direction line to your destination, directions that are perfect for walking.
Planning Mode
Planning Mode lets you use your mobile device as a pre-trip planning tool or easy-to-use
reference guide. Planning Mode lets you view static maps and directions without the need for
GPS reception.
Trip itineraries you create in Planning Mode can be saved and then loaded in any mode at a
later time (generate directions, then select Menu > Save Trip As).

Reference: Guidance Mode Screens & Toolbars
on Your Mobile Device
The following is a summary guide to the screens and toolbars you will see on your mobile
device 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
Menu at any time. Welcome screen options are:
• Going To to enter a destination and receive guidance
• Help topics about basics such as trip entry, hardware
setup, and options
• Options to change CoPilot routing, guidance, and map
options
• Live Setup for Live Communications
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 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 waypoint (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.
Ta p 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.
