Data Download to Your Pocket PC
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 desk-
top/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.

Reader, then click Next to go to
the Data Selection window. See

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. 23). 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”.
