Live Traffic in Planning Mode
In Planning Mode, CoPilot Live provides traffic reporting and alternate routes based on the
origin, destination and planned route you enter in the Trip Planner window. This allows you
to plan and save trips that avoid heavy congestion. These trips can then be opened in
Guidance Mode when you get on the road.
With your laptop connected to the Internet, begin by opening CoPilot. In Planning Mode,
open the
Tools
menu and select
Options
, then click the
Live
tab. Traffic reporting features
in Planning Mode look very similar to what you see in Guidance Mode, and the feature
functionality is exactly the same.
In the Live tab of the Options dialog check
Enable Live Network
, then check
Enable
Traffic
at the bottom. Adjust the incident message display time if you like by choosing a
different time-out interval from the
Hide messages after
pick list (see p. 73). Click the
Settings
button at the bottom to change the reporting options (see p. 74).
