ALK Technologies CoPilot Live Smartphone - Manual (Page 39)

Copilot Live Communications
CoPilot Live allows you to maintain two-way communication with drivers
who are using CoPilot and to actually see where they are currently located.
You can do this using a computer with CoPilot installed or from our CoPilot
Live web page.
Using this CoPilot Live functionality requires the following:
1) If you want to track and message other drivers from a desktop
or laptop computer: Your PC must be connected to the internet
and CoPilot must be installed; or, if your computer does not have
CoPilot installed, you must have access to our CoPilot Live web page
through a normal web browser.
2) If you want others to track and send messages to you: CoPilot
Live must be running on your Smartphone in your vehicle. You must
have a wireless Internet connection.
About the CoPilot Live Web Page
As a CoPilot user, you can create an account on our website that allows
your family, friends, and coworkers to "see" you and communicate with you
anywhere in the world!
Through the website you can do all of the following:
1) Send text messages to CoPilot users on the road, using large,
customizable, one-touch response buttons to ensure driver safety.
2) Real-time tracking of other people who are on the road. See their
current location, destination, ETA and much more on a map.
3) Send trip itinerary updates including new stops and revised
destinations — you can coordinate a change in plans with someone
who's on the road right now.
4) Create an online account from where you can send temporary or
permanent tracking numbers to friends and family, giving you tighter
control of the security so you know who has access to you while
you're on the road. You can also create and join groups with other
CoPilot users, and manage all your account preferences.
