CoPilot Live GPS navigation for iPhone

Aug 7, 2009 gps navigation, phones, software

It seems like all we do these days is talk about iPhone GPS navigation apps. Maybe this how standalone sat nav devices will become obsolete.

Anyhow – today ALK introduced their iPhone GPS navigation application called CoPilot Live which is already available in the U.K. for only £ 26. It is unlimited and there’s no monthly fee. This version contains only UK and Ireland maps but U.S. and other European countries are on the way. The full European version will cost £60 by the way.

What features? Here is what CoPilot Live can do:

• portrait or landscape display mode
• automatic route calculation
• 3D map displays
• turn-by-turn voice directions
• street maps are stored on the phone – not downloaded each trip
• including lane assistance
• realistic signpost displays
• speed limit alerts
• “Live” services include
  • 5-day weather forecast
  • CoPilot LiveLink that allows users to check to location of friends on-screen or online
  • Real-time traffic information will be also available later in 2009 as an option
