Trip Planning on Your Desktop
On the following pages you will find brief descriptions of the trip planning
capabilities of the CoPilot Live desktop application. You can use CoPilot's
desktop functions to map out routes and print maps and driving directions before
getting on the road. This is an additional feature of CoPilot Live that is in no
way connected to using your Pocket PC for route guidance.
To access Planning mode on your desktop/laptop, click the Planning icon in the
sidebar to the left of the map.
To see CoPilot’s desktop trip planning functionality described in more detail, open
the CoPilot Live Help Files from within the desktop application (Help Contents
and Search in the Help menu or click the Help button on the toolbar). Go to
Desktop Trip Planning in the Contents tab.

Using the drop-down menus you can select from a number of functions. Many of
these functions also have corresponding toolbar buttons:

where you can select from trips you have
