ALK Technology’s CoPilot SatNav solution is now available for Android devices, costing £25.99 for just UK coverage, or £59.99 for pan-European licensing. ALK have stated this is compatible with the T-Mobile G1, Vodafone‘s HTC Magic, and even the new HTC Hero.
It features a whole range of functions that you would expect from a product like this, including:
- Visual lane assistance – To help drivers at busy junctions and intersections
- Speed limit warnings – Customisable to provide an audio and visual reminder when driving
- Flickable scrolling menus for easy access to all CoPilot settings
New live services for Android users of CoPilot include:
- CoPilot® LiveLink™ – a free to use location sharing service that allows you to view the current whereabouts of CoPilot friends on your device and share your location with friends and family online
- Live Weather – Displays a five day forecast based on your current location, on route or any chosen destination
In common with other CoPilot Live versions, the Android software contains a choice of 2D/3D and Driver Safety mode mapping as well as full, voice guided, turn by turn instructions. A safety camera database with free upgrades is also available.
The only information missing is what the £25.99 buys you; is that indefinite use of those maps, but with the need to pay again to upgrade the maps each time, does it include software updates, but generally, this seems a good deal for those who want or need to add SatNav to their Android device.
