To send a message to the driver, click the Send Message button on the toolbar
or right click on the vehicle and select Send Message from the pop-up window.
Click your cursor in the space just below the Standard Response Buttons,

You have complete control over the Customizable Response Buttons:
1) Choose to display 1-4 buttons by clicking the corresponding number at the
bottom of the screen.
2) Change the text of each button — the driver will see whatever text you
enter and when the driver responds, the text of the button will be sent
back to you.
Once you have typed your message and specified your Customizable Response
Buttons, click the Send button to send your message to the driver. When the
driver responds to your message, the response is displayed in the Message
Center:

In Live Mode on your desktop you can track the location of the driver. Double-
clicking the vehicle in the Vehicle List will center the map on the driver's last
reported location. The vehicle location updates at an interval specified by the
driver on his Pocket PC (see Driving with Live — Pocket PC Setup, p. 84) as
long as both you and the driver are running CoPilot Live.
