Map Download to Your Pocket PC
NOTE: If your CoPilot product came with a Quickstart installation memory
card, you don’t need to download map data (it’s already on your Quickstart card).
You can skip to Using Your Pocket PC for Guidance, p. 16.
To use CoPilot on your Pocket PC, you first need to download map data from
your desktop or laptop computer to your Pocket device. You select the data to
download from one or more regions (“data areas”) that you specify in the CoPilot
application on your desktop. It’s a simple 4-step process.
Step 1: Specify Where Data Will Be Stored
To begin the data download process, open the CoPilot application on your
desktop/laptop, then click the Data Download Wizard icon or pick Data
Download Wizard from the File menu.
CoPilot gives you three options for downloading data:
1) directly to the Pocket device's memory,
2) to a Storage Card in the device, or
3) to a Storage Card through a Storage Card Reader.
You will be prompted to enter one of these choices before you can download.
CoPilot will detect which options are available to you.
NOTE: If there is data stored on the device's memory and also on
a Storage Card in the device, CoPilot will use the map data on the
Storage Card by default. To have it use the device's memory, you must
remove the Storage Card.
1. To download to Pocket PC
Device Memory: (In this example,
CoPilot has detected that there is no
Storage Card in the device.) Click
Next to go to the Data Selection win-
dow. See CoPilot QuickStart, this page,
for a description of software included
in downloads. See p. 12 for Options.
2. To download to a Storage Card in
the device: (In this example, CoPilot
has detected that all options are avail-
able.) Select a storage card name
from the drop-down pick list, then
click Next to go to the Data Selection
window. See CoPilot QuickStart to the
right for a description of software
included in downloads. See p. 12 for
Options.
3. To download to a Storage
Card through a Card Reader:
(In this example, again all options
are available.) Pick the drive let-
ter associated with your Storage
Card Reader, then click Next to
go to the Data Selection window.
See CoPilot QuickStart below for a
description of software included in
downloads. See p. 12 for Options.
NOTE: You can also download to a Storage Card through a PCMCIA
adapter. Simply identify the drive letter associated with the adapter under the
Storage Card Reader option.
CoPilot QuickStart
Storage Card Application Download
If you are downloading map data to a Storage Card or Storage Card
Reader, you have the option to download a complete, ready-to-use
“QuickStart” version of CoPilot along with the data. Having the
QuickStart version on your Storage Card ensures that CoPilot will be
available even if you experience technical problems with your Pocket
PC and need to perform a hard reset. (During a hard reset, all installed
applications are deleted from the Pocket PC.) Inserting a storage
card with the QuickStart version on it will automatically install
CoPilot, and your map data will already be there!
The QuickStart option can be turned on or off in the final step of
the download process (see p. 12). By default this option is active
and the QuickStart download will be executed each time you
download map data.
The QuickStart needs 10 MB of space on your Storage Card. Once
the QuickStart has been copied, you can save time the next time you
download data by unchecking the Create QuickStart option in the final
Data Download Wizard screen before proceeding to download. You will
also want to uncheck this option if you do not have enough room on your
Storage Card for it.
If the QuickStart is copied onto your Storage Card and you need to
remove it, simply delete the folder that contains it. The folder will be
named “2577”.
