ALK Technologies CoPilot Truck GPS Receiver User Manual


 
Start Driving!
Once you have entered at least one stop in the Select Stop screen, you’re
ready to start driving with CoPilot! You’ll receive turn-by-turn directions and
maps to guide you safely to your destination. As you drive, CoPilot’s
dynamic directions will instantly recalculate your route if you take a wrong
turn or decide to go a different way. In addition, CoPilot can calculate a
detour from your current position, giving you the option to accept the new
route or to cancel it and return to the your original route at any time.
CoPilot speaks directions out loud to you, and also displays them on your
Smartphone screen. There are three guidance screens to choose from:
Safety View, Map (four views), and Itinerary.
Safety View
The Safety View displays a text-only screen when your speed exceeds 10
m.p.h. and is the recommended view for safe driving. When you’re within
.7 miles of a turn or driving less than 10 m.p.h., CoPilot automatically
switches to the Map Views display.
The Safety View can be accessed from other guidance screens by pressing
the View softkey and choosing Safety View.
Map Views
The CoPilot map screen displays when you are traveling at less than 10
m.p.h. and .7 miles before each turn. It combines a detailed map display
with concise text instructions.
In any of the four Map views, your current GPS position is displayed and
you are tracked in real time as you drive. To choose a Map view, press the
View softkey and make your selection:
Next Turn Map — This view frames your current location up to the next
turn on your route.
Where Am I Map — Select this option to frame a close-up view of your
current location.
Next Stop Map — This view frames your route from your current location
to the next stop.
3D Map — This option changes CoPilot’s two-dimensional default display
mode to a three-dimensional perspective based off an isometric
camera angle.
