Send Trip and Driver's Response
The previous sections have detailed how
you can communicate with someone else
who's on the road from within CoPilot in
Live Mode. The following Driving with Live
sections will describe how it looks when
you're the one on the road.
To set up your Pocket PC for tracking and
messaging, you (the driver) must first
enable this functionality using the Tools
menu.
1. Tap Tools at the bottom of the screen,
then Live. Then check Enable Live
Communications to connect to the
Live Network and enable tracking.

2. Tap the Messenger tab and check
Enable Messaging to turn messaging on
so that messages can be sent and received.
If you would like each message you receive
to disappear from the screen and be placed
in a queue after a certain amount of time,
check Enable Timeout of Messages.
The time it takes for a message to be
queued is set in Planning Mode — go to
Tools menu > Options > Live. By
default, CoPilot will wait 30 seconds. See
Receive/Respond to Messages, p. 71, for
retrieval of queued messages.
In this screen you can also indicate how
often your current position should be sent
to the Live Network. Depending on the
plan offered by your wireless data service
provider, sending less data at infrequent
intervals will be more cost-effective.
3. Tap on the Login tab to enter or
change your screen name as it appears on
the home/office PC or CoPilot Live Web
page. Click Apply after making your entry.
You are now set up for messaging and
tracking from within CoPilot in Live
Mode. Your screen name can be changed
as many times as you like.
