Trip Planning on Your Desktop
You can use CoPilot's desktop functions to map out routes and print maps and driving
directions before getting on the road. Desktop trip planning is an additional feature of
CoPilot that is in no way connected to using your mobile device for route guidance.
On the following pages you will find brief descriptions of CoPilot’s desktop trip planning
capabilities. For more detailed descriptions, open CoPilot Help from the desktop application
(Help menu > Help Contents and Search, or click the Help button on the toolbar).
Go to Desktop Trip Planning in the Contents tab.
To begin planning a trip on your desktop, click the Planning icon in the sidebar to the left of
the map. Using the drop-down menus you can select from a number of planning features. Many
of these features can also be accessed from the toolbar. Place your cursor on any toolbar
button without clicking to see what it does.
New Trip
Opens the Trip Planner window where you can create a new trip, arrange the order of stops on
your route, add or edit Favourites (these can be downloaded to your mobile device along
with map data), search for Points of Interest, or use your Contacts database to add stops
to your trip. Click Run to receive driving directions and a map.
