Itinerary Buttons
Regardless of the tab you select, the same commands will remain in the bottom of the Trip
Planner window. To the right of the Itinerary you will see five buttons. Using the Up/Down
arrows you can alter the order of the stops on your Itinerary. Using the Zoom button you
can zoom to the selected stop on a map. The Delete Stop button allows you to remove stops
from your trip. And the Add Fav button lets you add a stop entered on your Itinerary to
your saved list of favorite places (see above).
Stop Optimization
After you’ve added all your stops to the Trip Itinerary, you can click the Optimize button
and CoPilot will automatically re-order the stops to create the most efficient route. If you
don’t optimize, your trip will be routed in the order in which the stops appear on the
Itinerary. To alwayskeep the last stop in your Trip Itinerary as your final destination, see
note on p. 34 re. optimization.
Fuel Cost Calculator
To calculate an estimate of your fuel costs for a trip, select Fuel Cost Calculator from the
Trip menu before you run your route. Fill in the average cost per gallon of fuel that you
expect to pay, and the average number of miles per gallon you can expect to get in your
vehicle. Click OK, then run your trip. A fuel cost will appear along with time and distance
estimates in the trip summary CoPilot creates for every trip.
