obstructing satellite communications will interfere with CoPilot's ability to track your
location. Like your car radio, GPS tracking can also be affected by weather conditions if
severe. CoPilot will continue tracking as soon as adequate signals are available. NOTE:
The GPS unit should be placed far forward on the dashboard to maximize the satellite
reception area.
How CoPilot Uses GPS
CoPilot uses the GPS positional data it receives from the GPS receiver to display your
current position and route on a map as you drive. This is called "tracking". CoPilot also
uses the GPS data it receives to "navigate", that is, to guide you along your planned route,
provided you enter a destination. If you enter a destination you will be given navigation
instructions, and your route will be tracked on the map. If you do not enter a destination,
your route will be tracked as you drive, but you will not be given directions as CoPilot has
no way of knowing your destination.
A Safety Warning
Do not use this product in any way that interferes with safe and attentive operation of a
vehicle. When used in a vehicle, do not place the GPS receiver, antenna, power supply, or
your computer where it may strike the driver or passengers if the vehicle turns sharply or
stops abruptly. This product is designed, manufactured, and intended as an aid to planning,
tracking, and following routes in privately owned vehicles. The accuracy of the map data,
driving directions, and GPS tracking system is insufficient for this product to be used for
automated navigation or in any situation in which the failure of the product could lead
directly to death, personal injury, or physical or environmental damage. The driver must
remain alert at all times to actual road conditions and obey all posted signs and traffic
regulations. TravRoute
