Cities And Addresses - ALK CoPilot Truck Laptop 4 User Manual

Cities and Addresses

To enter a trip, begin by typing the name or postal code of the place where your trip will
start in the City, State (or City, Country) box (e.g. "princeton, nj" or "paris, fr" or
"08540"), then press the Enter key. Do not include periods in the state/country abbreviation.
A list of matches to your entry may appear; if so, highlight the one you want on the list and
click Select.
TIP: You can click on the pick list arrow at the end of the City/State box to see a list of all
locations that have previously been entered as stops. Select any location from the list for
quick trip entry.
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. If you like, 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.
Points of Interest
When you select the Points of Interest tab, it will open with the cursor in the POIs that start
with box. The only field that is required to perform a POI search is City/State (or
City/Country); all other fields are optional. Once you have entered a city, you can do one
or more of the following to narrow your search: select a POI Category, select an of Type
option, or enter the first few letters of the place name. You can also change the distance
