Licence Update
The CoPilot desktop software contains street-level maps for all of Europe, and CoPilot is
offered with different licences that allow you to use some or all of these maps on your mobile
device. Licences are available for the following:
(1) Single region - Detailed street-level maps for any of the following regions: Alps Ski
Region, Benelux (Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg), France, Germany, Italy,
Pyrenees, Scandinavia, and the United Kingdom.
(2) Pan-Europe - Complete street-level maps for all of Europe.
After purchasing the licence, go to Menu > Update Licence/ Activate, and input your new
activation code. The CoPilot desktop software already contains complete European maps,
which can now be downloaded to your mobile device for in-vehicle use. If you purchased
CoPilot with a single region licence and later want to use street maps from other regions, you
will need to purchase an update licence from your dealer.
Region Selection
If you purchased an additional data region, when downloading map data to your mobile device
you will need to make sure the proper region is active. To do this, on your desktop in Planning
mode, click the Map menu > Region > and check the desired region.

Map Download to Your Mobile Device
If you need to change your map data or if you purchase additional map data regions, you will
need to transfer the new maps from your desktop or laptop computer to your mobile device.
You select the data to download from one or more data areas that you specify in the CoPilot
application on your desktop. It’s a simple process.
To begin the data download process, open the application on your desktop/laptop, then click
the Data Download Wizard icon or pick Data Download Wizard from the File menu.
CoPilot gives you two options for downloading data:
Download directly to storage card in the storage card slot of your mobile device —
follow steps (1), (2), and (3a) below.
Download to a storage card in a Storage Card Reader — follow steps (1), (2), and
(3b) below.
(1) Choose a Storage Location:
1. Open the CoPilot application on your desktop/laptop, then click the Data
Download Wizard icon in the sidebar on the left. Make sure your mobile device is
connected. CoPilot will scan your computer to detect which drive options are
available.
2. Click on the Drive Name pick list that appears and
select either the drive letter of your Storage Card
Reader (if you are using one) or the drive letter
assigned to the storage card in your mobile device.
Click Next.
NOTE: When you connect your mobile device to
your desktop/laptop. Windows will assign two drive
letters to it: one for the storage card in your device
and one for the main memory of your device. Open My Computer and check the drive
letter assignments to confirm which drive letter corresponds to your storage card.

Select a data area using one of four methods (see Data Selection Options p. 41-46 for a
description of each method):
