6. When I open Pocket CoPilot 3.0 on my Pocket PC it opens in Planning Mode not Guidance mode. How can I fix this?

If you own the Targus folding keyboard you need to disable the software for the keyboard before plugging in our GPS unit. If the option, "enable keyboard" is selected in the Stowaway software (which it must be to use the keyboard), it will try to repeatedly launch the Inbox when connected to the antenna cable. You need to select "disable keyboard" Targus does not look for a specific device so anything you plug in that software looks for will be detected as the keyboard.

  1. Tap on Planning to switch to Guidance mode.
  2. Tap on Edit, Options, GPS and make sure the correct GPS option is selected. If not tap on the GPS type you are using. Close out of the Options menu.
  3. In Pocket CoPilot 3.0 under GPS make sure there is a check mark next to receiving.
  4. If not please tap on receiving to enable it. If you can not place a check mark next to receiving by tapping on it please perform a Soft Reset by depressing the Reset button on your Pocket PC while our program is open and the GPS unit is connected. The Reset button is a small hole located on the bottom of the iPaq and on the back of the Casio and HP Jornada.
  5. Once you hit the reset button open the program again and make sure there is a check mark next to receiving.
  6. IF you still can not place a check mark next to receiving you will need to uninstall Pocket CoPilot 3.0 from your Pocket PC and reinstall to make sure the correct drivers for your GPS sensor are installed correctly.
