Detour Feature
CoPilot’s Detour Feature allows you to preview an alternate route before
deciding whether or not to take it. Perfect for situations in which traffic has
suddenly slowed ahead of you, the Detour Feature will generate an alternate
route and tell you exactly how much distance the new route will add to your trip.
You can then make an informed decision about whether you’re better off driving
through the delay or taking the new route.
1. To see an alternate route, tap
Menu
>
Detour
to request a new route.
2. CoPilot’s voice will
tell you how many miles the
new route will add to your trip,
and will begin to give you new
turn instructions.
3.
If you decide to use
the new route
,
just keep
driving.
4.
If you decide
not to use the
new route
,
tap
Menu
>
Cancel
Detour
.
5. CoPilot will then
return you to your
original route.
Avoiding Roads
CoPilot allows you to be selective about the roads you take on your trip.
There are two ways to do this: 1) you can customize your Trip Itinerary in
Guidance
Mode so that CoPilot will avoid certain roads; or 2) you can guide
CoPilot’s route by entering stops as “waypoints”.
Avoiding a Road in the Trip Itinerary
Tailoring Your Route Using Waypoints
CoPilot lets you customize a route by designating some stops as
“waypoints”. Waypoints appear on the Itinerary but they’re not treated like
stops in Guidance Mode and or in routing instructions. You can enter a waypoint
along a road you want CoPilot to use, and CoPilot will guide you through the
waypoint toward your destination.
To designate a place as a waypoint, enter it as a stop in the
Going To
screen. Tap
and hold the location on the
Going To
list until a menu pops up, then choose
Set
as Waypoint
. Waypoints appear on the
Going To
list preceded by “>>” instead of
a stop number. To turn the location into a stop again, repeat and choose
Set as
Stop
. You can set as many waypoints as you like on a trip; however, CoPilot will
always recognize the last address in the
Going To
list as a stop.
3. Tap
Avoid
Road
from the
pop-up window and CoPilot
will calculate a new route
that avoids that road.
This
can be repeated.
If there is
no other possible road or the
alternate route is too
impractical, a new route
won’t be generated.
1. Tap
Menu > View > Itinerary
.
The Itinerary lists all roads you will be
traveling on if you have entered at least one destination.
2. Tap the road you want
to avoid.
4.
To Return to the
Original Route:
You can
return to the original route that
CoPilot gave you at any time
by tapping anywhere on the
itinerary and selecting
Cancel
Avoid
from the pop-up menu.
