When you select the
Point of Interest
button you will be
prompted with an entry window. In the
City/State
box you
will see the city in which you have most recently been
navigating. If you want to find POIs in a different location,
simply edit the City/State entry. You can also use a Smart
POI search during a trip. If you select
Near my current
route
, the
City/State
box will be removed and the POI
search will find matches close to your current route.
NOTE:
This option is only available when you are
navigating along a route.
TIP:
Whether you use a City/State or the Smart POI search option, the other fields used to
perform a POI search are optional. If you want to narrow the POIs that are returned do one or
all of the following: select a POI
Category
, select an
of Type
option, or enter the first few
letters of the Place name.
NOTE:
During the initial installation of the software you have to choose between installing
the
Typical
or
Compact
POI set. The Typical set gives you more POIs to choose from. In
order to go back and change this option at a later time, click on
Start > Settings > Control
Panel
and double-click
Add/Remove Programs
. Select CoPilot 2003 from the list and click
on
Change/Remove > Modify
. Select the POI set you want and deselect the other one.
In Planning Mode you have the option of pre-planning trips
and saving them to your hard drive. Clicking on
Saved
Trip
will give you access to the list of these previously
saved trips so that you can enter a whole trip rather than
individual stops.
You also have the option of entering places by using the
Long/Lat
button. You will be prompted to enter
coordinates in the appropriate boxes. These coordinates are
shown in the status bar at the bottom of the map in
Planning Mode so if you were to find a place on the map
and not have an exact address for it, you could make note
of the Long/Lat coordinates and enter them in this box.
