Wow! What is it with GPS/Sat Nav news today?! First of all we had Sygic announcing info about their new app (see here), and now it’s CoPilots turn! ALK Technologies has announced that the latest version of its best-selling CoPilot Live satellite navigation iPhone app has been approved by Apple and is available immediately for download from the App Store.
The update brings new features that take advantage of the iPhone’s mobile Internet connectivity, providing integrated access to Local Search and the ability to post journey information to Facebook.
- Local Search as standard. With integrated local Internet search, customers can easily find the nearest product, service, brand, shop or just about anything they need. Simply key-in whatever you’re looking for and be guided straight there.
- Facebook Status Updates. Now you can share your journey with your friends directly on your Facebook wall, including where you are, where you are going and even what music you are listening to on the way. You can choose to post updates automatically or manually.
- Adjustable music volume settings. One of the most frequently requested features made by CoPilot Live iPhone customers, now you can choose to mute or dim music while receiving a voice instruction.
The updated CoPilot Live satellite navigation app is available to purchase immediately from the iPhone App Store for a one-time fee of £26.99 for UK + Ireland maps or £49.99 for full European maps. Existing customers can download the update for free.
