CoPilot Live Real-time Traffic Reporting
In addition to providing pre-trip planning, GPS route guidance, and Live messaging
capabilities, CoPilot Live uses wireless communications to automatically send real-time
information to drivers, notifying them of traffic incidents along the route ahead and creating
potential alternate routing.
In Guidance Mode, CoPilot Live can provide you with regularly updated traffic incident
reports and alternate routes based on your destination and route ahead. (Note that in
Guidance Mode, CoPilot must have GPS acquisition, a user-inputted destination, and
Internet access in order to provide real-time traffic information.)
In Planning Mode, CoPilot Live provides regularly updated traffic incident reports and
alternate routes based on the user's origin, destination, and planned route. This can be
quite useful as it enables you, for example, to review traffic conditions specific to your
planned routes before even entering your vehicle. (Note that in Planning Mode CoPilot
must have a user-inputted origin, destination, and Internet access in order to provide real-
time traffic information.)
Live Traffic in Guidance Mode
Begin by launching CoPilot Live on your laptop. In Guidance mode, click the Live button,
then check Enable Live Network and click the Traffic button to turn traffic reporting on.
