Data Download
Step 2:
Choose a Data Selection Method
After you specify a location where the data will be stored, you will be prompted
to select a region on the map to download. CoPilot allows you to download
data using one of the three methods described below.
See Data Download Step 3 beginning on page 13 for step-by-step instructions for
downloading data to your Pocket PC using each of these three methods.
City Radius - This method allows you to quickly select data in the shape of a
circle surrounding any city in the United States. In the Data Download Wizard
you type a city name and state abbreviation or ZIP code and enter the number of
miles you would like the radius
to extend around the city, then
click Next.
The Wizard displays a map that
shows the city and the radius
you chose. At this point you
can zoom the map in and out
using zoom buttons and adjust
the size of the data area by
altering the radius of the circle.
Map Area - This method of selecting data allows you to choose an area of data
by drawing a box on the Data Download Wizard's map screen.
In the Wizard, you enter a city
name near which you would like
to select data, then click Next.
The map will zoom to that
location. Then you create a
box around the desired area by
clicking and dragging your
mouse across the map. The
street-level data within that box
will be selected.
At this point you can zoom
the map in and out using zoom
buttons and adjust the size of
the data area by redrawing
the box.
Trip - The Trip method of selecting data is by far the most customizable method.
This option allows you to run a trip and select street-level data specific to that trip,
thereby avoiding unneeded data
and saving valuable memory
space.
Once the trip is run, the Data
Download Wizard automatically
selects circles of data around
your origin and destination,
and a corridor of data along
your route. You can then click
Options to adjust the radius of
the circles and the width of the
corridor.
The Trip Itinerary for each trip
you download will be stored on
your Pocket PC (see Trip
Transfer, p. 20). Multiple trips can
be downloaded to the Pocket
PC for later use.
