Pocket CoPilot 3.0 GPS Jacket Edition: PCP-V3-PAQJ2
The iPAQ Pocket PC-based navigation solution guides users safely and
intuitively, using detailed voice directions (full street names). It has
the following features:
• Seamless nationwide routing from anywhere to anywhere.

• Fastest full route automatic recalculation.
• Traffic congestion detour feature.

• Superior CoPilot GPS jacket with 4x faster acquisition; 50%
reduction in power consumption; sleek, ultra-thin design; and
integrated power port, battery, and CF slot.
• Vehicle mount, power adapter, and complete nationwide map data.

• BMW Mini certified accessory option for Europe.
Users can turn their iPAQ into an amazing GPS navigation system
with Pocket CoPilot (see Figure 11.1). This exciting new technology
gets users precisely where they need to be, with directions to any
address nationwide.

And with dynamic voice navigation and route guidance technology,
Pocket CoPilot not only shows users where to go, it verbally guides
them to their destination in real-time, with audible text-to-speech
directions. Yes, you will hear, “1.3 miles ahead, turn left on South
Street.” If you miss a turn or get off track, Pocket CoPilot automatical-
ly reroutes you (Figure 11.1).

The TeleType GPS
I like the GPS PCMCIA Receiver Card teletype card, because it fits
right into my expansion pack.
The Wireless PCMCIA GPS receiver has been designed especially for
use with the popular Compaq iPAQ Pocket PC. The combination of the
GPS receiver and the TeleType GPS software allows travelers to navi-
gate worldwide via land, air, and water using a completely integrated
device, eliminating cumbersome wires. The TeleType Wireless PCM-
CIA package includes the TeleType GPS software and street-level
maps for the entire United States allowing real-time position to be
accurately shown (see Figure 11.2).
