Data Corrections

The ALK map database undergoes constant revision as we strive to provide you with the high-
est quality product. Revisions include the addition of new roads, roadway upgrades, and the
addition of new streets and addresses. If you encounter missing or inaccurate map data, please
contact us so that we can include it in our updates.
The single best way to convey data corrections is through the submission of your GPS tracks
— every time CoPilot is on it records a GPS track that contains position information that ALK
uses to realign existing roads, fi x one-way designations and add new roads.

1. Make sure you have Internet access from your desktop.
2. Open CoPilot on your desktop.
3. From the top toolbar select GPS > Submit GPS Tracks.
4. CoPilot pulls the GPS tracks from your computer and sends them to ALK electronically.
To submit GPS tracks by E-mail:
On your laptop your GPS tracks (fi les that end with .gps) are stored in your C:\Program Files\
CoPilot\Laptop10\GPSTrack folder. Simply attach them to an email and send the email to
data@alk.com.
