iPhone guidance
If you don’t want to shell out the $10 per month fee for the AT&T iPhone Navigator application, I can’t blame you. That’s a lot to pay for directions, especially when you can pick up a Garmin for under $100. There is an alternative, though: A new version of CoPilot Live enhances and fixes a lot of issues in the previous versions. According to the company, the app now includes improved guidance at complex intersections, Facebook status updates, free local search, and the latest maps of North America. More than 15,000 miles of roads have been added, 73 completely updated counties and hundreds of map improvements submitted by the CoPilot Live User Community.
According to TUAW you can buy the CoPilot application for a $2.99 per month subscription, or opt for a $19.99 per year payment. That’s a heck of a lot more attractive than AT&T’s plan (which would run about $120 per year). You can give the application a try for free, too, as it comes with a 30 day trial period when you first download it. TUAW does point out, thought, that after using CoPilot for a couple of years, you could have bought the higher rated TomTom or Navigon apps, both of which seem to have more features and fewer problems than CoPilot. Check out some of the reviews on the Apple store before buying: CoPilot has it’s pros and cons.
