Cities And Addresses - ALK CoPilot Truck User Manual

Cities and Addresses

To enter a trip, begin by typing the name of the place where your trip will start or type a ZIP
code in the City, State or ZIP Code box, then press the <Enter> key (e.g. princeton, nj).
Do not include periods in the state abbreviation. A list of matches to your entry may appear;
if so, highlight the one you want on the list and click Select.
NEW Feature: If this is not your first use of CoPilot, you can click on the pick list arrow at
the end of the City, State or ZIP Code box to see a list of all locations that have previously
been entered as stops. Select any location from the list to enter it.
To enter a street address, click in the Address box. (This is not required. If no street address
is entered, CoPilot will route from a point at the center of the city or town you selected.)
Again, a list of matches to your entry may appear; if so, highlight the one you want on the
list and click Select, or click Map to see it on the map. If you enter a street address you can
also assign a name to the address by typing it into the Name box.
You can enter a crossroad as a stop by using an ampersand (&). Example: If you want to
go to the corner of Main Street and Washington Street, type "Main & Washington" in the
Address field. You might see a list of matches - these are addresses where the streets
intersect.
Click the Add Stop button to put the place you entered in the Trip Itinerary. You can then
highlight it and click the Zoom To button to see that place on the map.
HINT: If you need help with the spelling of a city name, type the first few letters (at
least two) plus the state abbreviation and press <Enter>. Then highlight the place on the
list and click Select. Spelling help for street names is accessed by entering the first two
or more letters of the street name. The pick list will take longer to come up when there
are more matches to your entry in the database.
