Setup GPS — Tap Setup GPS to connect CoPilot
to your GPS receiver through an automatic scan or
by setting the COM Port and Baud Rate manually.
GPS Status — Text display of information from
your GPS receiver, including your latitude/longitude,

from which the GPS receiver looks for satellites.
This can speed up initial satellite acquisition if you've
travelled without using CoPilot (e.g. you've taken a
long plane flight).

Turn Receiving On/Off — Switch receiving on or off. If receiving is off,
CoPilot won't provide turn instructions.

must be attached). Tap Next to start the scan. When your receiver is located,
you’ll see the message “GPS connection configured successfully”. Tap Finish to
