The issues surrounding the iPhone 4’s reception have been endlessly debated, and while Apple are now offering free cases as a workaround, the prospective smartphone buyer may well be re-considering their handset options. One of the most popular (and critically acclaimed) ‘iPhone killers’ is the Android-powered HTC Desire. From navigation app perspective, we look for two key functions in any new GPS-enabled handset.
The ability to show the application with clarity and crucially the power to run a complex application like CoPilot – and on these criteria the HTC Desire certainly delivers. Continue reading ‘Device Focus – HTC Desire’
Already a popular choice with Microsoft Windows Phone users, we are pleased to announce that CoPilot Live v8 Europe is now available on the Microsoft Windows Mobile Marketplace.
Windows Mobile 6.5 customers can now easily buy and download CoPilot Live straight to their phone through their on-device app store.
While it’s fair to say that Windows Mobile has struggled to maintain market share compared with the iOS4 and Android platforms, there are some great Windows Mobile devices available that can provide a fantastic navigation experience.
CoPilot Live v8 is initially available on Windows Mobile Marketplace in UK only for £57.69 and includes complete maps of Western and Eastern Europe.
Once you have purchased and installed the app, you will then need download maps to your phone via Wi-Fi. You can download full European maps to your phone or alternatively just the regions you need for your trip to save space.
A North America version is also available via Windows Mobile Marketplace in USA, including maps of USA and Canada.
We are working to bring both apps to Windows Mobile Marketplace in more countries soon.
You can also buy CoPilot Live for Windows Mobile from our own web store
Congratulations to DPD UK for winning the prestigious Innovation Award at last night’s Motor Transport Awards 2010. DPD is a subsidiary of GeoPost UK, a division of French postal group, La Poste. It employs 5,000 people in the UK and operates more than 1,700 vehicles from over 40 locations. The award recognised the work of DPD UK in implementing ‘Predict’, the first one hour time window for the delivery of packages across the UK.
Shoppers who purchase goods shipped through DPD UK can now receive a free SMS message or email giving them a precise one hour window when their parcel will be delivered.
The use and optimisation of CoPilot Live has proved to be a critical element in the ability to deliver the service and ultimately ensure that the packages are delivered on time during the allotted hour specified.
We are delighted that DPD UK’s innovation in the delivery sector has been justly recognised.
Further details of the Motor Transport Awards 2010 can be found here:
We’ve released a CoPilot Live v8 update for Android that includes support for version 2.2 of the Android operating system, also known as ‘Froyo’. The update is available immediately as a free download to your Android smartphone. We know many of you have been eagerly awaiting this update and we’d like to thank those of you who have been able to upgrade your phones to Froyo for your patience. It appears that many people have been able to download an unofficial version of the Froyo OS shortly after it was first announced in May, and it’s taken us several weeks to develop and road test our compatible version of CoPilot Live. Right now, Froyo is only officially available for Google’s Nexus One Smartphone.
Here’s how to install the update:
ANDROID MARKET CUSTOMERS
If you bought your CoPilot Live on the Android Market, you can get our latest app update from the Android Market

Thank you for choosing CoPilot Live navigation for your Android smartphone. Happy travels this summer!
Now that the initial avalanche of coverage surrounding the iPad has subsided, its probably worth reminding ourselves how good the iPad can be when running certain applications. Take for example CoPilot Live. For navigation guidance, the iPad’s hi-res screen provides a visual experience that is hard to beat - as this video demonstration from Tech-guru i6laswegian ably demonstrates.
If you’re considering getting the app, then the video is worth a look.
With the summer holidays just around the corner, what better way is there than spending the weekend outdoors, sharing some of the great festivals, concerts and sporting events with your closest friends?
Okay, they may be your closest friends but it doesn’t necessarily mean they live on your door step. Or even in the same town.
It’s no problem with CoPilot Live v8. With its handy Multiple Stops feature, you can plan the journey to your ultimate destination with pick up points along the way – so nobody need miss the party. And with the ability to enter more than 20 stops or waypoints and optimise the route for the most efficient way to go, perhaps it’s time to hire the stretch limo after all… Continue reading ‘Tuesday’s Tip – Multiple stops and route optimisation’
On Monday this week a further CoPilot Live UK + Ireland app update became available for download. This is designed to prevent an issue relating to automatic safety camera updates seen in our recent iPhone 4 / iOS4 Mutlitasking release.
We were very pleased to see that our CoPilot Live app update was approved by Apple over the weekend, bringing support for iPhone 4 and multitasking in iOS4.
Thanks to everyone who contacted us over the weekend – we’d like to respond to a couple of common comment threads:
The POI database can help with hasty re-arrangements
It didn’t take too long after Wednesday’s victory to realise that things hadn’t quite gone according to plan in the football – and coming second in the group stages would mean a significant alteration in the predicated travelling details of many following fans.
Fortunately, CoPilot Live v8 users in South Africa can simply change their stadium destination and enjoy their alternative route courtesy of full, voice guided, turn-by-turn instructions and a choice of mapping views. The Points Of Interest database should also prove helpful in finding some hastily arranged accommodation. Continue reading ‘England: Still on course, different route’
iPhone 4 has hit the shops today, and the first customers to lay their hands on one are reporting problems running CoPilot Live. The issue is to do with iPhone 4’s high res Retina display.
Please rest assured that we will issue an update that fixes this as soon as possible. It will also bring the full iOS 4 compatibility that we described yesterday
We are sorry for any inconvenience and will keep you informed about the status of the update right here.
