Driving with Live - Set Up

The previous sections have detailed how you can communicate with someone else who's on
the road from within the CoPilot Truck program. These following sections will briefly
describe how to set up Live communications in-vehicle and what it looks like when you're
the one on the road. For detailed instructions, go to http://live.alk.com/howto.
To enable tracking and messaging, you (the driver) must first create a login account using
the CoPilot Live Web login page. Once you have submitted a User ID and Password on the
web, you then enter the same ID and Password — once only — within the CoPilot
application to complete the setup. NOTE: Traffic is not yet available, the buttons for traffic
are currently disabled.
1. Go to the CoPilot Live Web login
page at http://live.alk.com. Click
Create a new account, and enter all
required information including a User
Name and Password.
2. Open CoPilot Truck. In Guidance
mode, click the Live button. Once you
are set up (see steps below), from this
window you'll be able to turn the
connection to the Live Network on or
off, toggle messaging on or off, and
specify how long Live messages are
displayed if no action is taken to interact
with the messages when they appear.
NOTE: You can also complete the setup
process in Planning mode — choose
Options from the Tools menu and use
the Live tab.
3. Check Enable Live Network, click
Messenger to toggle it "On", then click
Go.
