This is the "GPS week" for the Apple iPhone with yet another full "turn by turn" navigation solution announced and released, ALK's CoPilot with a UK and European version for €34 and €80 respectively. With ALK being headquartered in the US, a North American version can't be far.
What's new here are the Live services, which make perfect sense for a connected device like the iPhone, and that are really lacking on the other GPS apps so far. No traffic though which is the type of "live" info we really need. You can use the CoPilot Live UK/Euro for iPhone available topic of the "PDA and Smartphone Road Navigation Software" forums to discuss.
Updated October 22nd, 2007 - The release of ALK's CoPilot v7 is noteworthy for at least two reasons, first it marks the premiere of their new graphics engine that provides for an amazingly smooth map display (it is rated at 10FPS) and also because it signals the revivals of sorts of standalone software for mobile devices after years of decline in favor of AIOs (All in One systems). Over the years we reviewed v3, v4, v5, v6 and...
 ... the comments that often came back were of advanced features marred by a dated map rendering. For v7, ALK took their time, almost two years, but the map rendering is now second to none regardless of the platform, versus iGO, TomTom, etc...Naturally the advanced features are still there, trip planning with waypoints/stops/optimization, detours, custom data fields, live tracking, etc...More pictures and comments in this thread of the "PDA Navigation Software" forums.

As mentioned late last year, a review copy did make its way to Paul who since spent several weeks using CoPilot v6 on the road to get a good feel for the pros and cons of the new version. He takes an in-depth at...

Updated 11/17/2005 - One of the first GPS assisted navigation software solutions for PDA's, ALK's CoPilot is still going strong and has now reached its v6. Among the new features on offer is a real "moving map" mode with some unique mileage markers to get a better sense of distances in 3D mode. A review copy should be on its way to Paul, and we already have some interesting feedback by Kingweed who's been using CoPilot since its v3 but had recently moved to TomTom 5 and iGuidance v2......

ALK have just released a new version of CoPilot. Version 5 builds on the previous platforms and adds new features such as 3D, enhanced map display and user interface, but alas still no "moving map"a feature we now enjoy on most other navigation solutions. As a reminder, CoPilot is the only major navigation solution that relies on proprietary map data in the US, no mean feat......Make sure you check out the very comprehensive review of CoPilot5 in action in the UK by our friends from PocketGPS! We're discussing this new version in this thread of the forums
