When entering addresses into CoPilot, users have traditionally had to input information into two text boxes—one for the city and one for the street address. These searches look for an address match in the map data loaded on the CoPilot device.


In CoPilot 10.27 and higher, the two boxes have been replaced with a single box where you can enter a complete address, all at once, or search directly for named custom places or place IDs. This new Search feature uses CoPilot's online location database to look for a matching address. To do this, search requires a mobile internet connection—Wi-Fi or mobile data.


The fastest way to find an address is to start your search with the street and the house number, and then continue entering address information until you find the best match.


UK Example

To search for “40, Grantham Road, in London” you can enter your search as "40 Grantham" and then select one of the results. 



If you get too many results, you can filter the search further by adding a city to the search query, for example: 

40 Grantham London“.



You can also search in a different order to get the same result: “London Grantham 40


North America Example

To search for “183 Nassau Street, Princeton, NJ” you can enter your search as “183 Nassau” and then select one of the results.



If you get too many results, you can filter the search further by adding a city, state, and ZIP code to the search query, for example: “183 Nassau Princeton NJ 08540.”


In the CoPilot app

If you do not want to take advantage of this enhanced online search, you can continue to use CoPilot's Classic Search for locations offline, with two text boxes. To search offline in the CoPilot map data loaded on the device:

  • Go to Main MenuSettings > Map Display & Guidance 
  • Tap the Enable Classic Search toggle switch to turn it on (blue).


In the configuration settings

If you integrate CoPilot with your application, and customize it with configuration settings, you can add the following setting in the product.cfg to revert to Classic Search.


[SingleSearchUI] 
"ForceOfflineSearchWizard"=1  //The default setting is 0, which enables (onlinesingle search. Switching it to 1 reverts to classic search.
