We were thrilled to see our CoPilot Live app update was approved by Apple over the weekend—bringing you full support for iPhone 4 and multitasking in iOS4.
Thanks to everyone who contacted us over the weekend! We’d like to respond to a couple of common comment threads we’re seeing: Continue reading ‘Common iOS 4 Update Questions’
This week’s tip is one that we’re asked about all the time. Can I change the voice on my CoPilot Live? And the answer is of course you can!
Some of us prefer to hear directions from a man while others prefer to be guided by a woman. There are even those of us that enjoy listening to a foreign accent every once awhile. I’ve even personally used my CoPilot Live to practice my Spanish! Just remember when you choose a different language, you change the language used for all the buttons, information and instructions displayed on-screen and spoken by your CoPilot Live.
Here’s how to change your voice:
***One important thing to note: if you enjoy being guided by Text to Speech (TTS) voice guidance, be sure to choose a voice with an asterisk next to it. For example, see the images below. Eleanor and Isabel will say street names “Turn left on Maple Drive”.
So start testing different voices on your drives. Change it up every once in awhile. I don’t know what it is about James but his voice just makes me laugh –a trait I’ve always looked for in people so why not in my GPS’s voice! I’m also a huge fan of TTS so Eleanor shares some of my directions duties.
Interesting my top picks are both UK English…I wonder if my UK counterparts are cruising around with Frank and Lisa.
We’d love to hear what voices you’re using. Who are your favorites? Who can’t you stand?
We’re pleased to announce the release of a new update of CoPilot Live v8 for your HTC HD2!
HTC’s HD2 comes with a trial version of CoPilot Live v8 pre-installed on the ROM in many regions. We have worked with HTC to fully integrate CoPilot Live with some of the phone’s features, including Footprints and Navipanel. It’s taken us a little longer to release this version compared with the standard version, as we needed to make sure that all of the custom features are fully supported. But we’ve made it worth the wait!
Available to download immediately, the HD2 software update brings new features including FREE Live Local Search & Text-to-Speech (TTS), enhancements and minor fixes. It is now also compatible with our Premium Live Services (available to purchase separately).
Here’s what’s included in the CoPilot Live v8 software update for your HTC HD2:

We’re thrilled to announce Windows Mobile customers can now enhance their CoPilot Live experience with Text-to-Speech (TTS) voice guidance. CoPilot Live uses the latest TTS technology to provide clear, spoken directions at each turn—while pronouncing full street names. For example if you were lucky enough to have attended the big event yesterday, your CoPilot Live would have told you to “Turn left onto Dan Marino Boulevard”.
TTS is now available for FREE to Windows Mobile v8 customers. Here’s how to get your free upgrade to TTS:
