CoPilot Live for iPhone updates features and maps
Posted Nov 6th 2009 7:00PM by Mel Martin
We're seeing a lot of updates to navigation applications, and the latest is for the CoPilot Live app [iTunes link] for the iPhone. As promised, the company has updated the map data to fix mistakes or omissions that were reported by users. The latest update also adds iPod controls within the app, which many users were requesting.The update fixes a reported address search issue, improves GPS reception and makes some improvements to the user interface.
The previous version of the U.S. $34.99 app added text to speech and a better method of text entry.
As we've mentioned before, the competition in nav apps is going to get very interesting if Apple allows the Google nav app into the app store. It will be free, and has a host of features that are not currently available in the paid apps that are shipping for the iPhone now.
With the FCC watching the relationship between Google and Apple, I'm thinking Apple will have to let the app in, but Apple has surprised me before, and not always in a positive way.

You added text to my speech? Dude, that is so awesome! Plus it explains the letters that keep falling out of my mouth.
Oh, they mean text-to-speech. Dang.

Did they fix the import of custom POI? Although it's only useful for jailbroken devices, it would be useful for countries not covered by speed cam database.

That's the ugliest, most cluttered map interface I've seen, so far, though I'm sure there are others. No thanks.
