I also obtained a free copy at the Basingstoke event. I am so far quite impressed - but I have never had a navigation system before so my expectations are low.
Re Postcodes, I have struggled. I think I now have the answer which seems to be to use the postcode facility, and when prompted for an address select postcode centre. There is something odd since there are a number of potential roads offered which are not in the postcode locality. Does it draw a circle round the postcode centre and include all roads intersected?
Does anyone know how to activate speed camera alerts?
I had major problems with pairing to BT receiver. I selected BT as opposed to other and CoPilot simply went into an unending spin. After 2 days of trying, in desperation I selected other and manual and the port & speed and it paired straightaway. The help is very misleading
Can I get an alert when speeding? ie, Does CoPilot know the speed limit & can I ask it to alert me if speeding (I guess it could be a continuous tedious reminder so ideally it would just remind me once.
I had problems loading the map data to an SD card via ActiveSynch. I think it was probably proceeeding OK but very slowly & I killed it accidentally the first time. It is a 1GB card but no problems with the space being recognised. |

I can answer a couple of your questions but not all of them..

It knows exactly what speed you are doing but other than motorways or dual carriageways it only has a fairly vague idea of what type of road you are on and what the speed limit may be. Technically it would be possible to alert you at (say) above 70 MPH but I don't know if CP6 has that facility. There are other third party programs you can get which will do this though.

Yeah, don't use Active Sync - it's slow and sucky. ;) Get a card reader for your PC (if you don't already have one) and use that. Heaps faster and more reliable.
Good luck!

| Thanks Skippy. What are the other programs and can they cohabit with CoPilot6? |

The one that springs to mind is GPS Speed Sentry, do a search for user tchart on this forum or go to:
http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~tchart/
For co-habitating with CoPilot, I'm not 100% sure if it can. You might want to try GPS Gate
http://franson.com/gpsgate/
I haven't used either of these, so good luck!
