CoPilot HD USA & Canada App Reviews

Connection to the app store has timed out. [-318] Well I cant do much with that, can I? Paid for traffic too. Im feeling kinda foolish now. Thanks ALK!

First, Ill say that their customer service did respond promptly, which seems to be a rare thing these days. However, the descriptions of their multiple app versions are no good. What does HD get you? How about Premium? How do these differ from the basic GPS app? I loaded the basic app, then bought the voice service. Then, I figured I would give the HD Premium version a try. Cost me $20, because it included voice and a year of traffic (most other apps give you free travel). I asked if they would credit me another year of travel to cover my basic app purchase (voice). No luck. Their map doesnt have my home streets on it (the others do). The only advantage I see right now is the offline map option. Otherwise, it isnt worth the money and lack of customer service.

This GPS nav. saved my trip to Canada. I only wish I downloaded it before heading to Toronto though. I had my iPhone but only works all the way to the US border. I didnt have international roaming which causing any of my maps useless. Desperate to have GPS guidance that works off-line battling between prices. I ended up getting this app because its so much cheaper than the competition. My standalone 6 year old GPS navigation by Tomtom is almost useless cannot find the street destination were heading in Scarborough. But this app saved my whole week in Canada from Toronto suburbs to Niagara and their extra big freeways that is a little bit confusing. My verdict instead of buying standalone GPS this is the way to go. You cant go wrong with $13.99 and the map is updated. Your standalone GPS map might be outdated in 2 years and they ask more money from you. Why 4 stars then? There is some minor bug that I need to address to the developer and help people decide before buying this app. The first and only problem I encountered is the voice guidance. When I first launch the app the voice works then when we left the area no sound coming out. Basically Im just relying visually on the map, if you are the kind of driver who cannot drive without voice guidance you might not like this. So what I did when I had the chance I kill the app in the background and re-launch the app. It did happen to me a couple of times. I also had the incident where I was playing music and no voice guidance coming out. Did the same thing while on the road re-launch the app and it works after that. Which can be a safety issue if you are dealing this kind of stuff and get frustrated. I hope theyll fix this problem so people could make an easy decision purchasing this app.

Im using this app with Garmin Glo on my iPad The iPhone already has GPS capability so you can turn off cellular data and with the CoPilot Maps you have a great GPS. I Highly recommend this App

For the most part I have been pleased with CoPilot. Driving directions have been accurate and I like that alternate routes are easy to choose. It features offline maps and includes traffic for a year. My only real complaint is the interface. I think they could simplify the interface. Also make some of the touch buttons slightly larger for bigger fingers. They flattened the UI to keep with iOS, except for the actual map and navigation view, which still has the old non-flat look.

All other features are good but it does not show the speed limit. Im rating only 3 star because of speed limits. The road view was excellent,

I use this app all the time. It works perfectly. Pin point directins and the accutraffic. Is great. Lets me know where theres traffic and helps detour if ones available.

I like the whole feel of the program. I have to take several trips before I can comment further

Although there are shortcomings in all apps, I cant think of any particular issues I have with this app! I love how you can use it without utilizing data from the data plan!! Recommend it highly!!

Good app to use without network or Internet connection. Especially helpful for use driving the ALCAN (Alaska/Canadian) Hwy where service is very intermittent. Caused more than a few wrong turns in traffic because of lag in turn direction in close..it tells you to turn right onto a street and youve already turned right based on signage and you should now be turning left for an upcoming intersection leading to some confusion. The ETA bug is still there. Also you should be able to program your own estimated average speed based on current road conditions. When using the settings to actually try to do this the speed you input is obviously not applied. Worth buying however for its versatility and offline use.

Beware: since iOS 8.3, you can no longer import route files (.gpx, .trp or other) due to new security restrictions by Apple. The reason for my one star rating is there is a clear disconnect between the developers and the support team. It would be a simple fix for the developers to allow importing from say, Dropbox. Its done in many, many apps. Yet Copilots support people either say it cant be done, or theyll pass along the suggestion to the developers. Months (years?) later...nothing. No updates, no direction, no announcement for this oft-requested feature. Thats no way to treat customers that are trying to make your product better. Id happily pay for the app, but as it stands I requested a refund. Ill update this review if they get their act together. :(

Ive tried all the nav apps, and I like this one the best. Maps are clear, clean and attractive, price is decent, plenty of customization choices.

I previously purchased the Magellan Road Mate app to us for trip planning. It is an epic failure and their customer support is non existent. Magellan proved nothing but failure in two of three routing modes. Now I have turned to CoPilot. So far it has proven to be very difficult to use and laborious. What I want from a routing map is simple: I want to be able to pick waypoints from the map to plan my route the exact way I want to go, not how the application wants me to go. When I do this it does not put each waypoint in the order I select them, so I am forced to move them to their correct order. Each waypoint is created as a stop. That means I have to select each one in order to change it to a Route Through Here waypoint. A simple task is made extremely difficult. Ill keep working at it to see if I am missing so,etching but, my time searching the forum and users guide has been less than helpful.

One of the best graphics and presentation

Its the only offline maps I trust. While visiting Toronto its great to not need the "data roaming" which would be very expensive. Google and Apple maps require me to use data.

When I enter a destination and click go I get a voice direction to go a certain distance and then make a turn. And that’s the last I hear of it. No direction when I reach the turn point, no additional voice directions. The idea, IMO, is to not have to look at the map.

Great for navi with no data connection, but this app draws power like no other navi app. Apple maps and google maps draw wayyyy less power for some reason.

The program opens and immediately crashes leaving an instance in memory. I am using an iPhone 5S. Save yourself a lot of trouble, and dont download this version.

Immediately after the last update to the North America paid CoPilot app on iPhone 6 with iOS 8.4.1 was released on Sept 4, it crashes on startup and never runs. Whats this means is that the CoPilot app ran just fine on iPhone 6 with the latest iOS 8.4.1, up until the CoPilot app update! Tried rebooting iPhone 6 and then restarting app, same result. Please fix asap or refund back to credit card. Some of depend on this not only as google maps backup, but use it as primary navigation when theres no cell signal and when you cant plan your route in advance to use the google maps offline / route cache.

Excellent app. Needs the following changes to be 4 stars: 1 - App need more lane guidance while on highways and city streets. E.g., when on a city street with multiple turning lanes. 2 - Needs POI database updated. 3 - Access to music should be on main screen. 4 - Saved position should be on map when a user touches the map that should be one of the pop up options. Presently, one must go another screen under more.. 5 - Navigation screen should also display distance to destination and distance traveled
