Beyond the Basics
If you are familiar with the basic features of CoPilot, you are probably ready to try some of
the advanced features. For more information on these features see the
Legend
on page 46
of this manual, or see
Trip Planning: Beyond the Basics
in the Help Files (under
Planning
Mode
in the Contents tab).
Picking Stops from the Map
To pick a stop from the map with the mouse, first zoom into the area from which you want
to select a location. Then open the
Map
menu and select
Pick Stops
from the sub-menu of
Mouse Modes
, or click on the
Pick Stops
button on the tool bar. With Pick Stops turned
on, click with the left mouse button on the location you want to add to your trip (it can be a
city or any location, including a local address or latitude/longitude point).
When you pick a stop, the
Add to Trip Planner
dialog box will appear. You may add the
location as 1) the start place, 2) a stop, or 3) the end place. (Note that any previously-
entered start or end place will become a waypoint if a new start or end place is chosen.)
Now click on
OK
to close the dialog box, then select
Edit Trip
from the tool bar to bring
the Trip Planner window forward. You'll see that the stop you picked now appears as either
the start or end place, or an intermediate
stop on your Trip Itinerary. Click on the
Run
button to rerun your trip with the
new stop. You can pick multiple stops
from the map before re-running the trip if
you wish.
