CoPilot Live on Android

UPDATE: We’ve just put a whole gallery of CoPilot Live on Android shots in. Check them out after the jump.

CoPilot Live just broke cover on Android. We’ve already spotted CoPilot Live running on the iPhone, but since Apple’s dragging its heels on allowing full-blown satnav software on its handset, it’s great news that owners of the T-Mobile G1 and HTC Magic will soon be able to navigate properly. You never know, maybe it’ll chivvy Apple along too.

The software offers proper satnav features, including 2D and 3D maps, turn by turn directions and traffic alerts. Since it’s CoPilot Live, you can also use online features, such as allowing friends to track your location, or send directions straight to your phone.

The software was shown off in the flesh at Mobile World Congress this week, and since the Android Marketplace now accepts paid-for apps, we’ll expect to see it landing on a T-Mobile G1 or HTC Magic very, very soon.

    The correct link for CoPilot Sat-nav is http://www.alk.com/copilot/ You’re linking to a different software product with the same name. Just thought you should know :o )

    CoPilot looks very good as a demo, but unfortunately it is very unstable.  They have put a lot of effort into the flashy stuff and completely neglect stability.  As a result, after a few weeks, every time you turn on the app you have to go through Setup again (5 minutes), you regularly have to re-install it.  When you uninstall it does not remove everything from phone memory, so that for example, on my phone which is not rooted I cannot install the Poland maps.  I have re-formatted (with overwrite) the SD Card using the official reformatter, eraser from the SD Card Association, makes no difference, it won’t install the Poland maps.  All you ever get from their Tech Support is, it’s your phone, it’s your GPS chips, it’s your SD card, it’s your internet.  They aren’t interested fixing problems just avoiding blame.
