CoPilot Overview
Welcome to CoPilot Live! CoPilot will provide you with accurate, turn-by-turn spoken
directions and street-level maps that guide you to any destination you specify. If you take a
wrong turn, CoPilot instantly re-calculates your route. Let CoPilot guide you — and never
get lost again!
CoPilot comes fully installed and ready to use for route guidance on your mobile device.
However, you will want to install CoPilot to your desktop if 1) you’d like to use the extensive
trip planning features available with a desktop installation, or 2) you’re adding a data region or
more maps. See Installing CoPilot to Your Desktop, p. 36 for details.
In-vehicle Hardware Setup:
CoPilot uses GPS satellites to calculate your exact position on the map. In order to “acquire”
a GPS fix you must first make sure your A780 has an unobstructed line of sight to the sky.
Please note it may take up to 5 minutes to acquire a fix initially. WARNING: Never leave your
mobile device in a closed vehicle that exceeds 140
o
F.
First turn on your mobile device. Before using CoPilot, ensure that your phone’s antenna is
turned “On”.
After turning your engine on, attach the cable to the mobile device and insert it into your
vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket. Make sure it is firmly seated.
