Driving with Live - Set Up
The previous sections have detailed how you can communicate with someone else who's on
the road from within the CoPilot Live program. These following sections will describe how
it looks when you're the one on the road.
To enable tracking and messaging, you (the driver) must first create a login account using
the CoPilot Live Web login page. Once you have submitted a User Name and Password on
the web, you then enter the same user name and password — once only — within the
CoPilot application to complete the setup. NOTE: Traffic is not yet available, the buttons
for traffic are currently disabled.
