SatNav on the iPhone, CoPilot to the rescue!

I’d been waiting for ages for TomTom to release their navigation app for the iPhone, however it felt like it was never going to happen and with rumours of a price the wrong side of £100 I was searching for an alternative.

I first downloaded the demo version of the Navigon app, although quite simplistic it seemed to offer what I really needed, but then Sygic released their app, for just over £50 I couldn’t resist the app which included europe mapping, Unfortunately after some real world testing I soon realised that it just wasn’t reliable enough and I couldn’t trust it, the app was slow to track my position and often got confused.

In the end I had to accept that I’d made a poor choice and wished I’d waited for the TomTom, just when I thought all was lost I checked the app store and noticed that CoPilot had released the UK SatNav app for a bargain price of £25!, having used CoPilot on a previous smartphone I knew it would be great and it is!

Okay, it does lose track of my position once or twice during a journey and can take a second or two to realise that I have started to move when pulling away from junctions and traffic lights, but apart from that I’ve found it very reliable, has loads of routing and display options and has a beautiful interface.

If you have an iPhone and drive a car then what are you waiting for? go get CoPilot before the price goes up!

CoPilot 8 for the iPhone, dekoded rating 9/10
