CoPilot uses a Vehicle Routing Profile to choose the best route by considering the type of vehicle that you are driving. CoPilot will include predefined profiles for:

  • Auto (automobiles)
  • Motorcycle
  • Bicycle
  • Walking


If you have a subscription for RV or truck routing, you will see additional profiles for those types of vehicles.
