Data Corrections
The ALK map database undergoes constant revision as we strive to provide you with the
highest quality product. Revisions include the addition of new roads, roadway upgrades, and
the addition of new streets and addresses. If you encounter missing or inaccurate map data,
please contact us so that we can include it in our updates.
The single best way to convey data corrections is through the submission of your GPS
tracks — every time CoPilot is on it records a GPS track that contains position information
that ALK uses to realign existing roads, fix one-way designations and add new roads.
To submit GPS tracks from within CoPilot:
1. Make sure you have Internet access from your desktop.
2. Open CoPilot on your desktop.
3. From the top toolbar select
GPS > Submit GPS Tracks.
4. CoPilot pulls the GPS tracks from your computer and sends them to ALK electronically.
To submit GPS tracks by E-mail:
On your laptop your GPS tracks (files that end with .gps) are stored in your C:\Program
Files\CoPilot\Laptop8\GPSTrack folder. Simply attach them to an email and send the email
to
