Helpful Hints
ENTERING LOCATION NAMES THAT INCLUDE ABBREVIATIONS:
Usually you
will need to spell out words like Saint, Mount, Fort, etc. Place names generally need
to be spelled out; for example. John F. Kennedy International Airport instead of JFK
Airport. Try alternate spellings if your entry isnt accepted the first time, or pick your
place from the list under
Your search found
.
ENTERING INTERSECTIONS AS ADDRESSES:
To enter an intersection of two streets
as a start or end place, or a stop, type the names of the streets separated by a space and
ampersand; e.g.
Washington & Nassau
or
washington rd & nassau st
.
ENTERING ROUND TRIPS:
To run a round trip automatically, click on the
Round Trip
check box in the lower right hand corner of the Trip Planner window before running your
route. To turn off the round trip option, click on the box again. The round trip will include
all intermediate stops on the way to your destination, but go directly from your destination
back to the start place.
ROUTING THROUGH SELECTED PLACES:
CoPilot gives you the option to route
through locations that dont show up as stops on your driving directions. We call these via
stops. To the right of each stop on the Trip Itinerary youll notice the word
Report
. To
change a reported stop to a via stop, highlight it and press the
<space bar>
on your
keyboard. To change it back to a reported stop, press the
<space bar>
again.
MAKING A LIST OF FAVORITE PLACES:
CoPilot lets you create a favorite places
list of up to 25 places, with or without street addresses, for faster trip entry. To add a place
to the list, first enter it in your Trip Itinerary, highlight it, and click
Add Fav
. The next time
you want to enter this place as a stop on your trip click on the
Favorites
tab and double-
click the place name. When the number of places on the list reaches 25, each new place
will eliminate a place from the bottom of the list.
ADDING CUSTOM PLACES:
CoPilot gives you the ability to add your own custom
names to the map database. A custom place name can be entered as a start place, end place,
or intermediate stop (see page 34).
IMPORTING A LARGE POI SET:
If you have a large database of addresses, you can use
CoPilots POI Import Wizard for batch importing (see pages 37-38).
