Real-Time Traffic Information
In addition to providing users with pre-trip planning and GPS route guidance
capabilities, CoPilot uses wireless communications to automatically send
real-time information to drivers, notifying them of traffic incidents along the
route ahead and potential alternate routes. As soon as the user selects a
destination, CoPilot will provide dynamic driving directions and regularly
updated traffic incident reports.
Real-Time Traffic in Guidance Mode
In Guidance Mode, CoPilot provides regularly updated traffic incident
reports and alternate routes based on the user's destination and route
ahead.
NOTE: In Guidance Mode CoPilot must have GPS acquisition, a user-
inputted destination, and Internet access in order to provide real-time traffic
information.
