CoPilot Live iPhone Sat Nav App gets a free update

We wrote about how good CoPilot Live is before (here), but ALK Technologies Ltd has now released the first update for its best-selling iPhone sat nav app. Available for free to existing users, the automatic update brings a number of improvements and new features to UK and Ireland customers including safety camera alerts, the ability to dial a point of interest from within the app and improved GPS performance. CoPilot Live will now also automatically resume following a phone call.

Since its launch in August, CoPilot Live has had a significant impact on the UK iPhone App Store, and currently is the #1 paid navigation App. Customers enjoy full-featured navigation, complete with turn-by-turn voice guidance and detailed 3D street maps of UK and Ireland.

CoPilot Live makes the most of the phone’s in-built mobile Internet connection to provide useful connected ‘Live’ services including Live weather information and a free location-sharing service called LiveLink. A range of additional premium Live services will be available to purchase in September, including real-time traffic information, fuel prices at nearby petrol stations and Live local search.

The CoPilot Live UK iPhone update is available for existing customers now via the App Store. CoPilot Live for iPhone is available as UK + Ireland version for just £25.99 or a Pan-Europe version for £59.99. Single region versions are also available for most European countries for €33.99.

Ben Robinson

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.

I am sick and tired of everything being for the very inept I-Phone.

Windows Mobile smart and touch handsets blow away the pathetic little I-Phone.

I think that the industry providers should realize that they had better diversify, before they position themselves out of the meaningful and significant future market.

Hi

Re:Cliff Wilds “One comment on”

I have had Windows Mobiles both 5.0 and 6.1 and whilst I agree they were quite good operating systems and allowed you to run most anything, including a satnav, I have to sat just getting my first IPhone (3GS), I think it is great, I will still use my old Tytn 2(I love it).

It is has always been horses for courses, and so it will be.

Cheers
