TIP: Whether you use a City/State or the Smart POI search option, the other fields used to
perform a POI search are optional. To decrease the number of POIs that are returned, do one
or all of the following: select a POI Category, select an of Type option, or enter the first few
letters of a POI.
NOTE: During the initial installation of the software you have to choose between installing
the Typical or Compact POI set. The Typical set gives you more POIs to choose from. In
order to go back and change this option at a later time, click on Start > Settings > Control
Panel and double-click Add/Remove Programs. Select CoPilot Live from the list and click
on Change/Remove > Modify. Select the POI set you want and deselect the other one.
You also have the option of entering places by using
the Lat/Long button. You will be prompted to enter
coordinates in the appropriate boxes. These coordinates
are shown in the status bar at the bottom of the map in
Planning Mode – so if you were to find a place on the
map and not have an exact address for it, you could make
note of the Long/Lat coordinates and enter them in this
box.
When you select the Point of Interest button you will
be prompted with a search window. In the City/State
or City/Country box you will see the city in which you
have most recently been navigating. If you want to find
POIs in a different location, simply edit your city entry.
You can also use a “Smart POI” search during a trip.
If you select Near my current route, the POI search will
find matches close to your current route. NOTE: This
option is only available when you are navigating along
a route.
