Pocket PC Setup for Live Web Tracking

If you would like access to CoPilot's Live Network on the Web so that your
friends, family, and co-workers can message and track you from anywhere in the
world, you'll need to set up your Pocket PC for web tracking. Once you do this
setup, you won't be able to return to using the CoPilot application (Live Mode) in
this way, but you'll gain the additional security features and functionality provided
with the CoPilot Live Network.
The setup for the web is simple. You (the driver) must first create a login
account using the CoPilot Live Web login page. Once you have submitted a User
Name and Password on the web, you then enter the same user name and
password — once only — within the CoPilot Truck application to complete the
setup.
1. Go to the CoPilot Live Web login page
at http://live.alk.com. Click Create a
new account, and enter all the required
information including a User Name and
Password.
2. Open CoPilot on your Pocket PC. Tap
the Tools menu > Live. Follow steps 1-
3 on p. 68-69 to enable messaging and
tracking.
3. In the Login tab, enter a Screen
Name that will identify you to the
person on the other end for messaging
and tracking.
4.
Check Use Account Login, then
enter the same User Name and Password
you used to create your account on the
web (Step 1) and click Apply.
You are now set up for messaging
and tracking on the web. Your screen
name, user name, and/or password can be
changed as many times as you like.
However, you'll need to change your user
name or password on the Live Web page
before changing them in CoPilot. This is
not required for your screen name.

Driving with Live - Receive/Respond To Messages

On the top of the message screen are the four Standard Response Buttons
which appear on every message (shown below). You can also tap one of the
Customizable Response Buttons at the bottom of the screen that the
message sender has included. The text on the button is sent back.

When you are the driver and a message is
sent to you, CoPilot displays it on top of all
other windows. CoPilot's text-to-speech
engine will speak the text of the message
out loud when the message is received.
If you tap the Defer button (see below) or
do not respond within the time limit you
set up, the message will be put in a queue
and the Information button in the lower
right corner of the CoPilot guidance screen
will turn from gray to red. You'll need to
tap the Information button to read the
message. If other messages have been
queued behind it, the messages will appear
in the order they were sent.
Speak Message: CoPilot Live's text-to-speech engine
speaks the text of the message
Defer Message: Defers the message, which will reappear
later. Useful when you need to concentrate
on the turn instructions and the road.
More Information: Sends a response back that you need
more information.
Delete Message: Deletes the message-notice of the delete
is sent back.
