Tell you what, this is one sexy bit of kit. Now I just want to see what TomTom come up with… And whether anyone is making a motorcycle mounting bracket for my iPhone. Water-proof would be useful, too, what with this being Britain and all.

I don’t suppose you need anyone to review this, do you, Electric Pig? I might know of a willing volunteer

You are also forgetting Sygic and iGo myway So Copilot is certainly not the first Turn-by-turn satnav app for iphone. Although i have them all on my iphone now and have to say Copilot blows them all out the water .. the best by far, TomTom will have to release a cracking product to compete with Copilot live 8 for iPhone.

There is also sygic, Navigon and recently iGo My Way … about the only one missing is Tom Tom, but at the rumoured £113 I’m not too bothered about waiting for that.

The Navigon satnav: http://blogs.zdnet.com/cell-phones/?p=1664

I’ve been using the Navigon satnav on my iPhone since the release back in june. Its a turn-by-turn navigation, including maps for 40 european countries.

But I can see that Electricpig did miss the news about Navigon for iPhone.

Second to the Navigon satnav.
No wait third to the Navigon and Sygic satnavs.
Oh hang on there’s also the iGo My Way Satnav.

So basically it’s beaten TomTom to market.

Unlike all the others, this one is at a good price point.

CORRECT CORRECTION.

How is it the second when Sygic Maps was also launched in June 25th.

Navigon Launched UK, EUR, North America and Australia.
The USA also have Sygic available and AT&T.

If your going to correct report please get it right!!

But it may be the first satnav app for iPhones in USA, since Navigon only released a european version back in june.

Correction: Its not the first satnav for iPhone. Its the second, following the release of the Navigon iPhone satnav back in june this year.
