Some questions re CoPilot Live 5

Hi,

I'm nearly decided to purchase CoPilot Live 5 but need a bit more info :

1) Are there any problems installing it with Windows 98SE. Looking through the Forum some posters have mentioned difficulties.

2) Once you have registered and obtained the product key can it be re-used each time you need to re-install ( eg after a crash etc) on the same pda or do you have to get a new one for every re-install ?

3) Can you zoom in and out of the Destination screen ? If so how far can you zoom out.?

4) Can the Where am I function be used at any time to show your current location and again how far can you zoom in/out ?

Thanks,

Alan

1) Win98 should be ok as long as you have a serial cradle. For USB you need at least Win98SE

2) if you keep the Pocket PC then the key stays the same. You can transfer your license from one Pocket PC to another.

3) you can zoom out all the way to shwing the complete map. A bit impractical, if you ask me

4) yes. again, zoom is from min (100 yards I guess) to max. No limitation.

Are you saying that CoPilot Live 5 can be installed on a laptop running Windows XP?

I am saying it can be installed USING WinXP. You will be able to cut maps and create routes on the PC and then download them to the Pocket PC or Smartphone.

You cannot use this version to navigate with the PC - for that you need the "Laptop 8" version of CoPilot.

Thanks for the info, just one last question - can you set a destination by selecting a map view or approximate location, zooming in and then selecting a point on the map (i.e if you don't have an accurate address/post code or co-ordinates) - an example might be that a camp site is described as 200m after a certain road junction. ?

tap and hold the place on the map that you want to use, and then tap "Add as stop"

Not sure I understand your question. You can find the nearby intersection, just the generic town, or even Lat/Lon coordinates.

Please describe your issue again.
