A few days ago I was telling you about the market release of Android Market of this application called copilot live, the first total GPS navigator for the system Android.
This application converts to our phone Android in a conventional GPS navigator such as TomTom or Igo. Those of us who come from systems like Windows Mobile missed this type of application and always having to use Google Maps.
The characteristics of Copilot Live They are the ones that any type of navigator can have, such as indicating the destination as an address, searching the maps, through Pois, or perhaps something new, such as through a geopositioned photograph. The latter is useful if we have a photograph taken with GPS positioning, we can tell the browser to take us to where the photo was taken.
Copilot Live It has alerts for radars, for speeding, and alert for lane orientation, displaying on the screen the number of lanes on the road and which one we must choose.
Possibility of marking a point as POI and sending our position as an SMS to any of our agenda.
Voice prompts are clear, simple, and understandable with an appropriate ring volume. The maps look good and the directions on them are clear. We have the possibility of configuring the lower bar so that the remaining time until arrival, altitude, next road, name of the road we are going, appears, etc. The maps are quite up-to-date and we can see them in both 3D and 2D.
Different navigation modes depending on whether we go by car, on foot or by motorcycle. Navigation in a HTC Magic, which is where I have tested it, it is fluid and fast, the location accuracy is sometimes not as correct as it should be, but this has also happened to me with dedicated browsers.
It has a price of € 30,25 for maps of Iberia or Spain and Portugal and € 70 for all of Europe.
You can download a software to install it on the computer which, once our phone is connected, we have the possibility of making backup copies of our phone maps, downloading the routes executed with the browser, installing new maps, voices, visual themes, points of interest. interest, etc ..
In my opinion Copilot Live is an application that should not be missing on our phones Android and even more so if we use the car daily or are fans of hiking, cycling or similar activities.
Hi there! Interesting review but I have some doubt that maybe you can help me solve.
- Does the phone get hot when the browser is running? (that's why squeezing the processor)
- Can you navigate to a contact? And can the navigation program be called from others such as Place Directory?
- Has the program ever gotten hung up on you?
- Compared to other solutions like TomTom for Windows Mobile, at what level do you consider it?
Hi Javier.
- Heating does not get hotter than normal. I had it connected to the car's cigarette lighter and it was hot the same as when charging. A tad hot.
- To a contact if you can navigate as long as you have that contact as a Poi. Call it from another program because I think not. I don't use the Place Directory, but to be able to call it from another application, the option should be in that other application, not in the browser.
- It got hung up on me once but I think it was because I was doing tests and I wouldn't stop fiddling with it as well as working as GPS.
- Starting from the base of tomtom installed on Windows Mobile it is practically the same. I used in Windows MObile more than the tomtom the IGo 8 and as the graphical aspect of the latter is not. As functional and visually it is not bad either, the tomtom does not stand out for its visual appearance. For me it is quite well achieved.
all the best
Thank you very much for your clarifications. This weekend that I will have more time I will buy it. I think it is essential software and that more than once it will get you out of trouble.
Hello, I have wanted to say that I bought the copilot in the android market and I have not been able to make the maps show, only on the screen I see a red dot and the pdi nothing else within the user interface, in addition to trying to calculate a route finds no street anywhere.
It is a big disappointment as I expected a lot more from this software.
Hey.
Get in touch with the company, I suppose that will be for some reason. I can tell you that the installation was normal and without any problem.
If I can help you with something, then here I am for what you need.
all the best
I bought it a few days ago and it works great.
It is inferior to Tom Tom in aspects such as the interface and options, but for the price it has, it seems very good.
Hello everyone, I installed it the other day, it goes from pm to the usual thing that I have seen
esque so that the streets go out when looking for them you have to leave the program on for a while you know why
hello help, I can't download the maps
Download them from the phone
I bought the CoPilot, everything installed very well, but one detail, it is all in English, menus and voices. I am very clumsy at languages so if I don't translate it will be of little use to me. Can you help me to change the language to Spanish?
I look for it from the market but it does not appear ... does anyone know something about it?
Where do I download it from?
I already downloaded and installed it but I need maps of LATIN AMERICA .. but it seems difficult ...
any ideas??
I look for it from the market but it does not appear ... does anyone know something about it?
Where do I download it from?
Well, it does not appear on the list but just put »copilot» in the market search engine and you will find it right away.
I'm sorry but I don't quite understand what you're saying.
Hello everyone.
Has anyone installed CoPilot_Live_8 on HTC_Dream phone with Movistrar? I signed up with Market - my phone doesn't have CoPilot; with AKL - for Android only through the Market; buy soft at EXPANSYS.es on SD card - nothing, copied to microSD, but I can't. Does anyone know what problem?
Does anyone know if it is feasible to install it on an Acer c530 that has a copilot but outdated?
This one in particular is for the android system, but on its page there is still a version for windows
Too bad, when the maps for the Canary Islands do not work ... with this, no matter how much application it may be, without the maps we do not get anywhere; - /
Does this work without the need to be connected to a 3g network? '
I mean directly the phone's gps?
Hello, once I install it, it does not start me up and sends me to force shutdown, I appreciate your help.
Very good,
I have used the Copilot Live on several occasions with my HTC Hero and I have to say that either the GPS of the Hero is patatero, which I do not believe because with Google Maps it is great for me, or the browser makes a mess every two for three.
It loses the signal, it tells you that you are at a point that is not and that is why it marks you a wrong route, it is a very slow program, the buttons do not mark well when I place it in the car bra ...
Come on, I'm happy with this program ...
I intend to acquire a htc hero, I am reading the comments you make about this browser and being a basic tool for me, it generates many doubts.
Someone is using this program with the htc hero?
What are your experiences?
Do you recommend it?
I wait for the tomtom for android?
Hello, if someone could help me, I have a new htc magic which I would like to add the program to this browser. Someone could tell me how it goes and especially how to buy the software. Thank you. I hope for an answer.
Get it in the market and I'm very happy with it
Someone install copilot live on htc android?
how is it done ???? I downloaded the program, I recorded it on the sd, but the icon does not appear…. How do I install it ????????????
Today, March 6, 2010, and I still cannot download the Copilot from Iberia since February 8. buy it
and above they are not capable
to contact me to try to resolve this
misunderstanding or problem. I have sent them a dozen emails but they do not solve me.
I have tried to contact those who sell you the copilot, but they seem like a
ghost company because I can't talk to anyone about
«Checkout.google» to tell me the way to be able to
install this application, I hope they solve me now, if not I will have to give up the 30 euros that it cost me.
for Kadett: they got in touch with me right away.
Try it from the website. They sent me a link to download the map and the instructions to install it.
A greeting.
Two days ago I installed the version with maps of the Iberian Peninsula (also includes the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla). At first it took me a little while to install the maps, but with a little peace of mind I succeeded. Now I fully enjoy a navigation system on my mobile (HTC Magic). In the Canary Islands (where I live) it works very well. I usually travel a lot to the peninsula and here it helps me a lot-
The only downside is that it uses a lot of energy and I always have to carry the charger with me. See if I get a car charger.
Hello, I installed the live copilot but the problem is that I just got a little red dot on the screen, but in my case I live in the city of Coatzacoalcos, the problem is that when I search for the city, it just shows me a simple dot but it doesn't shows the map. Can somebody help me? How can I download the maps of the Mexican Republic that include its states? Thanks
Hello, I have a problem. I installed copilot and everything correctly, but it keeps telling me there is no gps signal, why can it be? thanks
I would like to know if there is a version for any Latin American country, because I saw for Europe, North America and Australia only. I am from Argentina. Thanks a lot
I use the one from Mexico and it is in Latin America close to North America (remember that the gringos consider the US and Canada North, the rest is their garbage dump)
