CoPilot Truck Live Communications
CoPilot Truck allows you to maintain two-way communication with drivers who
are using CoPilot and to actually see where they are currently located. You can
do this using a computer with CoPilot Truck installed or from our CoPilot Live
web page.
Using this CoPilot Live functionality requires the following:
1) If you want to track and message other drivers: An Internet
connection on the computer where CoPilot is installed, or access to our
CoPilot Live web page through a normal web browser.
2) If you want others to track and send messages to you: CoPilot
Live must be running on your Pocket PC in your vehicle. You must have a
wireless Internet connection.
CoPilot Live Web Page
As a CoPilot user, you can create an account on our website that allows you to
join the Live Network. Then your family, friends, and coworkers can "see" you
and communicate with you anywhere in the world!. Through the website you can
do all of the following:
1) Send text messages to CoPilot Truck users using large, customizable, one-
touch response buttons to ensure driver safety.
2) Real-time tracking of other people who are on the road. See their
current location, destination, ETA and much more.
3) Send itinerary updates including new stops and revised destinations —
you can coordinate changes in plans with someone who's on the road
right now without forcing them to pull over and enter new information.
4) Text-to-Speech enhances safety for all of your communications — text
messages and itinerary updates are spoken out loud when you send them,
keeping the recipient focused on the road ahead.
5) Create an online account from where you can send temporary or
permanent tracking numbers to friends and family. You can also create
and join groups with other CoPilot users and manage all your account
preferences.
Since you're the one who owns CoPilot, it's likely that your friends and family
will be the ones logging onto the CoPilot Live web site to communicate with you.
However, setting up your own account allows you to distribute tracking numbers
and have tighter control of the security so you know who has access to you while
you're on the road.
