How did you get your Garmin to work with copilot? I have the Garmin GPS16 and mine doesnt work with Copilot.

Well, I have not yet. The GPS is still in the mail, but there are a couple messages about it here.
You need to change the settings on the GPS to output less data.

Everything should work fine except the Singal indicator on Co-Pilot will always be red.

I hope mine will be here in a day or so, and I will let you know how it goes.

I've tried a few outputs that someone had suggested and it doesnt work. On mine, once the tracking and logging turns red, the GPS stop sending signal. The Keyspan has a port in use LED. Once the Copilot's tracking and logging turn red, the GPS in use LED turns off. If you have a Copilot receiver, I'd buy it. If you havent seen this thread, here.

Copilot lose GPS connection

Well, I am going to be ****ed if I can not get my new 35 to work, The Co-Pilot GPS is big and ugly. I can not hide it in the dash cause it looses the singal.

I will let you know if I get it to work

How accurate is the Copilot GPS unit?

It is good for about within a 100' or so. It sometimes thinks you are on the next street over. But that could be a co-pilot software problem, not a GPS problem.

It works very good as a GPS, it is just not conducive to a clean install.

Can you use the copilot GPS receiver with anyother GPS software?
