To Uninstall Data From Previous Versions of CoPilot:
NOTE: Data is automatically removed as part of the CoPilot 2002 or 2003 uninstall.
For earlier versions of CoPilot, this process is not required but you may want to do
this if you have uninstalled the application.
1. Exit out of any other programs that are running.
2. On your desktop, double-click on My Computer.
3. Double-click on Control Panel.
4. Double-click on Add/Remove Programs.
5. Scroll down the list of applications until you see CoPilot 2001 Data CD or Data
CD setup for CoPilot 2000. Click on it to highlight it, then click on the
Add/Remove button. You will then be asked “Are you sure you want to
completely remove the selected application and all of its components?” Click
Yes. This will start the uninstall process. If prompted to remove all shared files
select No to All.
6. When this is finished, click on Finish. Then restart your computer.
Hardware Setup
WARNING: Never leave your GPS receiver in a closed vehicle that exceeds 140o F.
Excessive heat may damage it.
See page 22 for a diagram detailing how to set up a USB receiver. See page 23 for a
diagram detailing how to set up a Serial receiver. (Although these instructions are specific
to CoPilot receivers, connecting third-party receivers should be very similar. The GPS unit
should be placed far forward on the dashboard of your vehicle to maximize the satellite
reception area.
The first time you use your GPS receiver it can take up to 15 minutes to acquire a satellite
fix. After you use it once, the receiver should initialize within a few minutes.
The GPS receiver works like a radio antenna, so place it at least two feet away from
possible sources of interference (for instance, a cellular phone antenna).
