Great App….except for the last half kilometre

I have been using this for about 6 months now on my iPhone 5, both in the USA (a lot) and in Canada. Generally its pretty good, the off-line capability really saves money on roaming charges etc. I am also a (standalone device) Garmin, Apple Maps, and Google Maps user. I use CoPilot primarily to avoid roaming charges when traveling.

I find the CoPilot UI pretty good, but not great. While it walks you through input addresses, it is not “intuitive” about starting, stopping, changing, going back to home page. I find I end up pulling over to fiddle with it. Not that big a deal, but maybe its my Garmin experience getting in the way.

Not all maps are up to date. I recently found a bunch of roads missing at a NJ University that has been in existence for 100 years. CoPilot plopped my destination in the middle of a freeway about a mile from where I needed to be.

Finally, and most puzzling and maybe related to the above issue. I find this problem very, very consistent, more that 75% of the time. When I get very close to my destination, it misses it! Often by 100-200 yards and on occasion by 500 yards. It’s very weird. I’ve done side-by-side with my Garmin, Apple Maps and Google maps. Those 3 nail the destination dead on. CoPilot blows right by and then announces arrival when I am 100-200 yards past. I have a feeling it may be related to a Guidance Turn Warning setting.

Finally, occasionally the Voice Navigation just disappears. Don’t know why, cannot reactivate it. I then have to reinstall and it starts working again.

Other than these quirks, I still find it useful and worth the money.
