Hardware
Both your desktop/laptop and your Pocket PC must be turned on. The
cradle/cable for your mobile device must be connected to your desktop/laptop
computer through either the USB or Serial port.
If you plan to transfer the map data to your mobile device's main memory, or to
a Storage Card in the device, there are no more connections needed.
If you plan to transfer data to a Storage Card through a Storage Card Reader,
you must also have the reader installed and connected to your desktop/laptop.
You can also use a PCMCIA adapter for your Storage Card if you have a laptop.

Get Connected
In order to successfully transfer data from your desktop to your Pocket PC,
you must have Microsoft ActiveSync 3.1 (or later) installed. This software is 
necessary to connect the two machines and is provided by your Pocket PC 
manufacturer. If you did not receive this software with your mobile device,
contact the distributor immediately.
1. When connecting your Pocket 
PC, if you have not set up a 
partnership between your Pocket 
PC and your desktop, you will be 
prompted to do so. This is not 
required. If you choose not to set
up a partnership select Guest 
partnership, and 
you will be logged 
in as a Guest and 
ready to transfer 
data between
machines.
2. If you have set up a partnership
in the past, or choose to do so at 
this point, be sure to allow your 
Pocket PC to synchronize with 
your desktop/laptop prior to 
launching CoPilot Live.
NOTE: If your desktop/laptop computer 
does not seem to be recognizing the 
connection with your Pocket PC, select
Connection Settings... from the drop-
down File menu, and make sure you're 
connected using the appropriate Port.
Then click Get Connected... in the 
File menu and follow the on-screen 
instructions.
