Trip Transfer
When you use the Tri p download option, CoPilot transfers whole trips to your mobile device.
The trip you create, including its Itinerary, is transferred along with the surrounding data
corridor, and it becomes the current trip.
The Tri p download option creates a .TRP file that is placed in the Save directory in the
CoPilot installation folder on your mobile device. Subsequent downloads will add more .TRP
files to this folder. The number of trips that may be stored is limited only by the available
memory on your mobile device.
If multiple trips are downloaded, the last one to be added will open as the current trip. Use the
Saved Trip stop entry option on your mobile device to open stored .TRP files.

Importing Custom Places
CoPilot’s Custom Place Import Wizard enables you to import addresses from your Outlook
Contacts database, an Excel file, or text file. (If you are using another type of database or
contact manager, you can export your contacts/locations to an Excel or text file before
importing them into CoPilot.) These points are then added to CoPilot’s POI database in a
category and type of your choice (the default category is “Custom”). Once they are in the
database, they are displayed on maps as pushpins and included in search results when you
search for points of interest on your mobile device or in the Trip Planner window on your
desktop/laptop.
NOTE: CoPilot now allows importing of multiple POIs with the same name (e.g. an entire
database of “Starbucks”).
To access the Wizard, choose Import Custom Places from the Tools menu in Planning
Mode on the desktop, then follow the step-by-step instructions given by the Wizard.
Steps for Importing:
1. In Planning Mode on your desktop/ laptop, choose
Import Custom Places from the Tools menu to
open the Import Custom Places Wizard.
2. Choose Import from Microsoft Outlook or
Import from an existing file (this can be a .txt text
file or an Excel file). Click Next.
3. In the next Wizard screen, type the path to the file
you want to import or Browse for it, and use the
Category pick list to indicate a POI category for
your imported places (by default they are assigned to
“Custom”). You can also choose a Ty pe from the pick
list. To edit the type name, highlight it on the pick list
and click Edit Type Name below. Click Next when
ready.
