CoPilot Live at TBEX’10

This past weekend, my colleague Mary and I had the pleasure of spending time with some of the world’s best known travel bloggers and writers at the TBEX’10 event in New York City.   We were thrilled to have the opportunity to educate world-class travelers about the benefits of using CoPilot Live’s GPS apps on their journeys.   And not to mention pick up some great travel tips for ourselves!

A majority of the conversations we had with attendees were about the benefits of having offline navigation conveniently available on your phone.  And, that when you’re traveling the last thing you want is to have to worry about your mobile network connection’s reliability for receiving GPS navigation.   With CoPilot Live’s detailed street maps stored directly on your phone, there’s no need to rely on your mobile network for downloading maps or worry about expensive roaming charges. 

By far the most exciting part of the day was being able to give away free CoPilot Live software to attendees!   Thank you again to all the TBEX’10 attendees that participated in the drawing!  Here is a list of our lucky winners:

• Mark Wolinski from Travel Off the Cuff
• Erick Pound from Adventure Insider
• Laura Byrne Paquet from La Vida Local
• Traci Suppa from Go Big or Go HOME  (pictured with the CoPilot Live team above)
• Alyson Kilday from Hop and Jaunt
• Lanora Schoeny Mueller from writing travel
• Yanick Dalhouse from bvk

We met so many wonderful people who we hope to see again…perhaps in Vancouver at TBEX’11.   We’d like to send a couple special thank yous to Kim Mance, Shanna Quinn and Maren Hogan of TBEX for putting on a wonderful event.  Also thank you to BootsnAll, EuroCheapo and TripAdvisor for hosting some memorable events over the weekend.  And last but not least thanks to Gogo Inflight Internet for being the perfect tablemate!   

Happy travels everyone!
