Points of Interest
When you select the Points of Interest tab, it will open with the cursor in the POIs that
start with box. The only field that is required to perform a POI search is City/State (or
City/Country); all other fields are optional. Once you have entered a city, you can do one
or more of the following to narrow down your search: select a POI Category, select an of
Type option, or enter the first few letters of the Place name. You can also change the
distance within which you want to search.
When you are finished entering in your search information, click the Find button to get a
list of all possible matches within the database. To select one, highlight it by clicking on it
and choose Select to add the place to your itinerary, Cancel to return to the search, Map to
show the place’s location on a map, or Clear to change your selection. For information on
changing the POI set, see page 32.
Favorites
To save a place as a favorite you must first add it to your Itinerary using the Cities and
Addresses or Points of Interest tab and then click Add Fav. When you click on the
Favorites tab you will see a list of your previously saved favorite places. To add a favorite
place to your trip, highlight it and click Add Stop. In this tab, you can also specify a Home
and Work address. To do this, highlight an address on the list of favorites and click the
circle next to Home or Work under the list. Now your home or work address can be
quickly selected as a destination in Guidance Mode (see page 31). Remember that while
you can access your Home and Work address from Guidance Mode, they can only be
changed through the Favorites tab in Planning Mode.
Contacts
You can access your Outlook Contacts database by clicking on the Contacts tab. Narrow
down your contact search by typing in the first few letters of the contact’s first or last name
and hit the <Enter> or <Space> key. Select the contact from the list and preview the
Work, Home, or Other address by selecting the corresponding radio button. Click on the
Add Stop button and CoPilot will search for that contact’s address. If an exact match is
found, CoPilot will automatically update your itinerary. If an exact match is not found,
CoPilot will display a list of possible address matches to choose from.
