Detour Feature
CoPilot’s Detour Feature allows you to preview an alternate route before
deciding whether or not to take it. Perfect for situations in which traffic has
suddenly slowed ahead of you, the Detour Feature will generate an alternate
route and tell you exactly how much distance the new route will add to your
trip. You can then make an informed decision about whether you’re better off
driving through the delay or taking the new route.
1. To see an alternate route,
tap the top of the screen
to invoke the toolbar. 2. Tap on the
Detour button to
request a new route. 3. CoPilot’s voice will tell
you how many kilometers
the new route will add to
your trip, and will begin
to give you new turn
instructions.
4. If you decide to use
the new route, just keep
driving. 5. If you decide
not to use the
new route, tap the
top of the screen to
open the toolbar,
then tap the Cancel
Detour button. 6. CoPilot will then
return you to your
original route.

Selective Routing
CoPilot allows you to be selective about the roads you take on your trip.
There are two ways to do this: 1) you can customize your Trip Itinerary in
Guidance Mode so that CoPilot will avoid certain roads; or 2) you can guide
CoPilot’s route by entering stops as “waypoints”.
Avoiding a Road in the Trip Itinerary
Tailoring Your Route Using Waypoints
CoPilot lets you customize a route by designating some stops as
“waypoints”. Waypoints appear on the Itinerary but they’re not treated like
stops in Guidance Mode and or in routing instructions. You can enter a waypoint
along a road you want CoPilot to use, and CoPilot will guide you through the
waypoint toward your destination.
To designate a place as a waypoint, enter it as a stop in the Going To screen. Tap
and hold the location on the Going To list until a menu pops up, then choose Set
as Waypoint. Waypoints appear on the Going To list preceded by “>>” instead of
a stop number. To turn the location into a stop again, repeat and choose Set as
Stop. You can set as many waypoints as you like on a trip; however, CoPilot will
always recognize the last address in the Going To list as a stop.
3. Tap the Avoid button, and
CoPilot will calculate a new
route that avoids that road.
This can be repeated. If
there is no other possible road
or the alternate route is too
impractical, a new route won’t
be generated.
1. Tap the View button (second from the left on the guidance screen toolbar)
then tap the Itinerary option. The Itinerary lists all roads you will be
traveling on if you have entered at least one destination.
2. Highlight the road you
want to avoid by tapping
it once.
4. To Return to the
Original Route: You can
return to the original route that
CoPilot gave you at any time by
tapping the Cancel button.
