According to the AAA, 34.4 million Americans will travel at least 50 miles this Labor Day Weekend. That means plenty of picnics, bbqs and a lot of TRAFFIC JAMS!
We’d like to help you with that. Just in time for one of the most traffic congested holiday weekends of the year, we’re launching our new enhanced real-time traffic service—ActiveTraffic. And we’re offering everyone a 14 day free trial!
ActiveTraffic integrates the highest quality real-time traffic information available on the market today with our advanced routing technology to intelligently calculate the best route to avoid traffic congestion and find the fastest route to any destination based on real-time traffic conditions at that moment— not an accident reported a half hour ago. And best of all, it takes all of this information into account to provide you an accurate estimated time of arrival (ETA).

Apple introduced a new section in the App Store recently called Try Before You Buy. The new section features an assortment of apps from Games to Navigation that allow you to do exactly that, try them before you buy them. We think it’s a great idea by Apple as we’ve received a lot of great feedback regarding one of our own “try before you buy” apps – CoPilot Live Directions.

With August underway we’ve entered the peak of the summer travel season. Whether you’re traveling at home or venturing cross country, you can guarantee some unexpected costs will arise. With an on-board navigation solution such as CoPilot Live, one cost you won’t have to worry about is roaming charges!
A question we’re often asked is why do I need a full-featured GPS navigation app when my Android phone comes with free Google Navigation? Or if I can get one of the many free GPS navigation apps available in the App Store why should I spend money on one? So we thought it would be helpful to help you understand one of the key differences of these options and ensure you don’t end up spending money using navigation you thought was free!
In the navigation industry, we refer to Google Navigation and apps that rely on your mobile internet as “off-board” navigation solutions and CoPilot Live as an “on-board” navigation solution. Let me explain exactly what this means. Continue reading ‘Roam free this summer with CoPilot Live’

iPhone 4 has hit the stores today and the first customers to lay their hands on one are reporting problems running CoPilot Live. The issue has to do with iPhone 4’s high res Retina display.
Please rest assured that we will issue an update that fixes this as soon as possible. It will also bring the full iOS 4 compatibility that we described yesterday.
We are sorry for any inconvenience and will keep you informed about the status of the update right here.
Big news arrived this week!
Apple announced a free iOS 4 software update—the new Apple operating system— is available to download through iTunes for existing 3G and 3GS customers. The new operating system brings a number of exciting improvements and enhancements. For us here at CoPilot Live, we are particularly excited about the new Multitasking functionality for switching between applications and Background Location that allows Copilot Live to provide continuous navigation guidance while you’re on a phone call and using other apps.
What does this mean for your CoPilot Live app?
If you download the new iOS 4 software update, your CoPilot Live app will run as normal with the new operating system, but please note at this time it does NOT support multitasking. We will be releasing a new update soon which will take full advantage of the new features. Here’s a sneak peek of what’s to come with the update: Continue reading ‘iOS 4, Multitasking and CoPilot Live’
