Each stop is added to the trip by first tapping Add Stop on the trip plan.

CoPilot allows you to search for fuel stations, restaurants and many other Places you might want to stop, as well as your company's own Custom Places created in Content Tools. You can either search for Places that are nearest to your current location or search in another place of your choice. Once you have found a suitable Place, you can add it to your trip as a stop.

The distance listed under the name of the location is the distance from your current location.

Use Exact Coordinates

 

If you know the latitude and longitude of a location, you can add it to your trip by specifying its coordinates.


Depending upon the region that you are in, you may also be able to add a location by specifying its map grid reference. For example, if you are in the United Kingdom, you can specify a location by its Ordnance Survey grid reference.


1. On the Find Location screen, tap Coordinates.



2. Tap one of the icons to specify the coordinates in: decimal degrees; degrees, minutes and seconds; degrees and minutes; or grid reference (if available).




Pick Stops on the Map

2. Tap the plus icon at the bottom of the screen. The Point of Interest or other location that you selected will be added as a stop to the trip plan.



The distance shown below the location's name is the air-mile distance from your current location.


Change the Order of Stops 

 

You can use the trip plan to reorder stops. Tap, hold and drag a stop up and down the list to move it. (In CoPilot 10.9.0.1174 and higher, the Current Location cannot be moved.)


On the trip plan, the first entry in the list is always the starting location for your trip (and has a green icon next to it), and the last entry is always the destination (and has a red icon next to it). The entries in between are stops, and have amber icons next to them. 



Create a Waypoint

 

A waypoint is a route influencing point or a via point. It is not a destination the driver has to reach, but a location you would like to use to guide the driver to a destination. To create a waypoint:

  • On the trip PLAN screen, enter all of your stops and waypoints. (You must have at least three stops entered before you can designate one of them as a waypoint.)
  • Tap the amber target (circle) next to any intermediate stop you want to set as a waypoint. It will open a screen showing the stop on the map.
  • Tap Set as Waypoint, and tap the back arrow to return to the PLAN screen.
  • Your stop will now be set as a waypoint when you generate your route. 
  • On the map, the waypoint will be shown as a gray circle with a number inside.

In the example below, Philadelphia is being set as a waypoint for a trip between Trenton, NJ, and Harrisburg, PA.

Either


1. Tap the "x" to the right of the stop that you want to remove.
