Leave a Review CoPilot GPS Navigation
A campervan test that failed
Just tried this app in France, after being sent on a precipitous one lane road in my campervan by Google Maps (don’t get me started!!!). Unfortunately, even with my 7m van loaded into the app, and main roads chosen as the roads of choice, this app sent me along the same one lane route. And this was despite the fact that there was a good, two lane D road that led right to the destination. Clearly I am not impressed.Show lessFritzGiggle
Needs a proper routing algorithm/UI update
CoPilot has served me well for years. Has taken me all across Europe and Australia. It’s fine if the route is fairly straightforward. If you hit traffic or are in a high density road area, you’d best use Google Maps.
On many occasions it takes you off at an off-ramp only to take you back onto the same road at the on-ramp. 3 times in the same trip yesterday. Hard to work out why. It can’t be shorter, quicker or more convenient.
But if you’re trying to work around an area, every time you view the new route, it recalculates. So you can Settle on a route, drive towards a junction, by which time it has decided to take you another way or even turn you around.
If you see an obvious way around and select “route through here”, unless you select the right side of the road, it will drive you 30 miles in the wrong direction and bring you back on that side of the road, then try to turn you back around to resume your journey. Bonkers.
Routing algorithm needs updating and a new methodology/UI for routing coz trying to navigate a way around an area is pretty much unusable at the moment.
I’ll soldier on when I’m in the truck … but for the car/van, it’ll have to go for now.
Come on CoPilot, don’t get left behind!Show lessMeyomyx

I love Copilot for its accuracy and functionality but the lack of carplay support is a dealbreaker for me. Google Maps, Waze, Sygic, TomTom Go have carplay support there are also a number of smaller firms that have carplay support as well. As soon as carplay support is added, I will most def use CoPilot but for now, I have a selection of other apps that fill the voidShow lessjayscrimms

Hi, Unfortunately, The functionality you refer to is not currently available in CoPilot. However, it has already been identified as a potential enhancement for future releases and is currently under consideration for inclusion by our product managers. More questions? https://goo.gl/trBXr6Don’t buy it
This GPS has outdated data - I got stuck twice in Portland because of it as it was trying to make me go on one way streets from the opposite side. Was hoping it would provide the best guidance based on rig height but it can’t even do normal navigation properly so you can’t trust it.Mw4rF

Works great. We have been using it for years to drive all over the world in many many different countries. Cheaper and easier then renting a gps unit from the rental car companiesSteveCddsdkdsn

Takes time to learn
I guess I’ve been spoiled with apps that “just work”. Co-pilot is feature rich (as Marketing people like to say) but I found it hard to get started with the app. After a while I got the hang of it and it’s very impressive but I’m left with a few things I can’t get over (yet) 1. It’s very loquacious when on local roads. Seems like every 200 yards it says “keep straight on for 2 miles”. The second point is it does not work with Apple CarPlay- I know I could work around this problem but I tend to just use Apple Maps rather than setup the phone so I can see it.
I keep returning to copilot especially when Apple send me down a farm track but I would like CarPlay support. To developers who can cope with the complexities of navigation, surely CarPlay is a walk in the park (there must be a joke in there somewhere)Show lessukreillyte
Wrong directions
When in Honolulu I was looking for directions to Aloha Stadium. It directed me in the middle of nowhere in a mountainous area and valleys.
There a couple of other locations with similar result. I had to switch off and use Google maps instead.
Very disappointed and misleading.
Otherwise good app.RafikAbi

It hurts that I even have to give this review because I told so many drivers about how great of an app this is .. I don’t know what’s going on it gives you one time for example take 1 he and 15 minutes and then later you go back and it says 2 hours and that’s without it saying there’s traffic .. roads are clear but give one time and then another it’s frustrating especially when your boss is asking you what time your going to arrive and it tells you one hour but ends up two like I don’t get it .. wasn’t like that before and then you can’t even talk to anyone on hereShow lessn0ne y@h
Great app for setting your own route
I love the multiple way point feature. I paid the one time fee for 3D view. Nocked it down to 4 stars only because active traffic has a monthly fee.absstien
