Dieselboss,
I have a question about Copilot. I have used MS Streets & Trips since '05. I like it & of course that's what I am used to. One of the features I use is, I can name each stop I go to & store that stop. In other words, once I reach a destination, I can "mark" that stop & name it, for example, "Jim Bob's Cabinet Shop 123 Maple St, Anywhere, State, 98765" & save it. A day OR a year from now if I have a delivery back to that location, I just go to "files" & locate that file name & click on it, it will load that stop, click GPS & start. It will generate the route. I don't have to enter the address & wonder if its right on the dot, a block off the mark or a mile off the mark. I know its correct because I, myself marked the exact location.
I run in an area of four states in my job. I have maybe 1000 stops marked over the last 5 years. Some I go to regularly & obviously don't need to load those stops as I know where the are, but sometimes, I may only go to a stop two or three times... ever... & maybe two years apart. So, being able to "mark" stops help. In addition I can send that file to another driver & he now knows where that stop is if he ever needs to go there. My question is, does Copilot have the ability to mark & NAME those stops. Some GPS' can store stops but you cant name them or delete or modify etc.
As well, one thing I wish MS Streets would do is allow me to load multiple stops for that day. Sometimes I have 10 stops, but you can only load one "file" at a time. I can manually mark more than one stop but I cant load more than one stored file location for multiple stop routes![]()
