A very useful feature that is often overlooked in CoPilot Live is the Shortcut button detnoted by the ‘crossed’ screwdriver and spanner tile in the top right hand corner of the screen.
With the Shortcut button you can easily and quickly switch between commonly used navigation options. Stopped at a light and want to see what you’re next upcoming turns are? Switch to Itinerary view. Decided to finish out the trip on foot? Switch to Walking Mode. Continue reading ‘Tips and Tricks – Menu short cut’

So that’s February done. How can the year’s shortest month feel so long? Perhaps it’s because it still feels like winter – and we can blame Punxsutawney Phil, as highlighted in our US blog, for condemning us all to a month full of snow and ice.
Winter or not, activity continues unabated with CoPilot Live. This month saw the launch of new free and premium services, some press accolades and awards – and we’ve even spread a little CoPilot Love.
Free Live Local Search came to CoPilot Live v8 users on the Windows Mobile and Android platforms. If you’re wondering where this is on your phone, install the latest CoPilot Live v8 update and it will be included automatically. Full details can be found here.
Our iPhone customers will be able to access Live Local Search in the next update which will be available through iTunes shortly. Continue reading ‘CoPilot Live in the news – February 2010′
How often when travelling have you wanted to return to a specific location – but can’t quite remember the way?
It could be a perfect little restaurant hidden in a back street or a hideaway cove away from the main beach. You might find it again – eventually. Or if you don’t, save your time and settle for something that just isn’t quite as good.
Wouldn’t a permanent record help? One that was easy to access and would take you straight back to your newly discovered favourite? Continue reading ‘Tips and Tricks – Save Current Location.’

This week’s Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona has seen a number of eye-catching announcements. Here’s a quick round-up of some of the things that we found particularly interesting.
Windows Phone – 7 Series Microsoft finally broke cover with the public announcement of their forthcoming mobile OS – Windows Phone 7 Series. More of a preview than a full launch, it seems that Microsoft are at last likely to make-up some ground lost to the iPhone in the consumer mobile space, particularly in terms of usability, entertainment and aesthetics. We’ve always been fans of Windows Mobile – after all CoPilot Live was first launched on the platform – and it’s great to see it turning heads with some long-overdue innovation.

So the traditional weekend of romance is over for another year and so CoPilot Love returns to Live.
We’d like to say thanks to everybody who contributed to our CoPilot Love theme over the past few days. We really could feel the love in the majority of posts – and where we couldn’t, you can be sure that the points made have been taken on board.
Well done to our final two competition winners, Craig Willis and John Kenna who have received CoPilot Live prizes.
We’ll be running more competitions and special offers over the coming months. Keep an eye out on this blog or hook-up to our twitter feed and be the first to know.

This is a guest post from our US Marketing Manager, Devon Valenti (yes, an appropriate name for this weekend).

Sure we’ve all heard it before but you know you have at least one story that goes something like this: You’re late for that really important event and you’re now passing that gas station for the third time— the one your male riding companion swears is not the one you saw 20 minutes ago.
Well now there is a simple way to ensure a smoother, better journey with the man in your life. Continue reading ‘Why don’t men just ask for directions?’
