ALK Technologies announced at this year’s CES 2010 show in Las Vegas that its CoPilot® Live™ v8 Sat Nav app for smartphones has been downloaded by over 200,000 customers globally in its first six months since launch – that includes Android, iPhone, and WinMo Operating Systems!
CoPilot Live v8 has become one of the best selling turn-by-turn navigation apps for iPhone in many markets, the top grossing of all iPhone apps in 2009 in the UK and the number one paid app on Android Market. CoPilot Live v8 has also proved popular for Windows Phone customers who are able to purchase and download the application directly from ALK’s own online store.
“The app store distribution model has been transformational for us in many ways,” said Michael Kornhauser, Managing Director at ALK Technologies. “It has allowed us to more easily market our full-featured CoPilot Live navigation software directly to customers on a wider range of GPS-enabled smartphones across the leading mobile platforms. App stores are a cost-effective way for us to distribute software, allowing us to make GPS navigation more affordable than ever. We have also been able to take advantage of the automatic software update facility offered by the iPhone App Store and Android Market to deliver improvements and innovations quickly and effectively in response to customer feedback.”
I’ve used CoPilot on the iPhone, and it is currently my favourite Sat Nav app – and at £25.99, I don’t think you can beat the price/functionality mix on offer! If you want to grab it on iPhone you need the App store, for Android it’s (obviously) Android Market – and finally for Windows, go straight to the CoPilot website, here!
