Start Driving!
If your GPS receiver is attached you're ready to start driving! The CoPilot navigation system
will guide you to the destination(s) you enter and recalculate your route should you miss a
turn.
Because CoPilot needs to know where you're going in order to give you navigation advice,
you must enter a destination. (You don’t need to enter an origin, if the GPS receiver is
picking up signals, CoPilot will automatically identify the start place.) After you enter a
destination in Guidance Mode, the Passenger screen will open (see p. 26) and a highlighted
route will appear on the map that starts at your current position and ends at your next stop.
Your route will also be tracked on the map as you drive. NOTE: If your screen is set to
Driver at the top of the control panel, the Driver Safety screen will appear at more than 10
m.p.h., but CoPilot voice technology will remain active and you'll receive simple turn
instructions on the screen.
If you deviate far enough from your pre-planned route (you might make a wrong turn or
choose to follow your own variation of the route), CoPilot’s “Dynamic Directions” will
automatically recalculate a new path to your destination from your current position.
To Begin Navigating With Dynamic Directions:
1. Enter a destination, with or without a street address: click Destination, then in the
window that opens click Address. After entering a location, click Add. (For more on
trip entry, see p. 30-34.) You can continue to add stops if you like, CoPilot will route you
to each stop, beginning with the one that was entered last. You'll see your highlighted
route drawn on the map from your current position to the destination you entered.
2. Start driving! As your GPS unit receives signals, arrows will appear on the map
beginning at your start place and track you as you drive. CoPilot will automatically
prompt you and tell you when your next turn is coming up. If you go off route, CoPilot's
“Dynamic Directions” will reroute you to the next stop from your current position.
CoPilot also incorporates Side-of-Street Address Detail to let you know what side of the
street your destination is on. And, while driving on major highways, CoPilot will give you a
Lane Change Warning if your next turn is a left exit off the highway.
