Leave a Review CoPilot GPS Navigation
Horrible for trucks
GPS is always out of date even when it’s updated. Constantly wrong locations, wrong road designations, speed limits, etc… Directions are the worse, example current highway requires a left hand turn to stay on, but GPS says keep left to stay on current highway. This is a constant problem with this app. The exits numbers are correct on the app, but the GPS directions don’t match the road signs. It doesn’t tell you what lane to be in to make an exit or to keep on the highway you have to make a guess and hope you’re correct. It doesn’t actively tell you how far you are from the next town or city on your current route or the nearest truck stop. This is valuable information if you are a truck driver to have when you are out on the road. Over all I would give this GPS an F- it seems like it was developed for a quick buck and not for accuracy or safety of truck drivers or the general public.
Do not use this app if the following applies to you.
1. You value your own safety
2. You value your employees safety
3. You value the safety of the general public
Trimble is a useless software company and all of their products are cheap and worthless.Show lessEmkask
Still a go to
Have been with CoPilot for years. Like every GPS, there are pros and cons. Still my fav when travelling by RV.NowIamGrumpy
Works great … much better look than Garmin!
Love the look of the detailed maps on an iPad. We choose off the beaten path routes usually and when you do this the Garmin is out of it’s element. The confused Garmin thinks we are driving on someone’s lawn … doesn’t even show a road?
One bug is when on “motorcycle” in settings, co-pilot sends you off the interstate and then back on the interstate for a two minute unneeded detour. Another is it fails to connect with the GPS at times, a power off/on usually fixes this.
The look is something like a Tesla map which is top notch.
So nice to have this, a happy user for the last 7-8 years!Show lessspartacusfartacus
Good idea, issues with routing
I liked the of real-time RV routing without selling my soul to good Sam but after using for two weeks on a long RV trip I have some issues with the routing. Going through several major cities on I40 it consistently wanted to rout via bypasses even though the straight through routes were faster. It also has a tendency to take you off interstates for short stretches on secondary roads and then put you back on the same interstate. This makes no sense for RV routing. I find my self having to check the copilot routing against google maps to make sure it doesn’t do anything stupid.
After completing a 50 day cross county Rv trip I still have lots of issues with the routing. In several cases we were routed on small gravel roads totally unsuited for an RV. Looks like I’ll need to look for an alternate solutionShow lessGalnorth

Oh no! So sorry to hear that? Please share the information with us at https://goo.gl/trBXr6 so that we can look into the matter. Thank you!Pilot Car - Best guidance map available
I drive a pilot car across the United States. I have been using this App for seven years now. It took a little while to get used to it, but now it is the Best tool I have in my arsenal. I have shared this with many people and I believe that if you take the time to learn how to use it you will be very pleased.
I’ve tried Google maps but you’re only allowed to do one route/state at a time. And I’ve also heard other apps only allow you so many pin drops. I can put my entire route in and use as many pin drops as I want across the entire USA.
I am however wondering if there’s anyway once you enter a route and save it that you could share it with another individual. I’m hoping the makers of this app will consider this.Show lessPhrogggirl

Hi, Your problem needs a more detailed examination. Please report it to our technical support team at https://goo.gl/trBXr6. We are always looking to help our users.Very poor user experience
We previously used a competing app but as this one was very well referenced so we decided to give it a try.
The User Interface ranges from confusing to unusable. No wonder marketing got involved!
Uninstalling it was a relief.RV Godess

Hi Jimmy, Thank you so much for your review. We're always looking to improve your experience. Please share your views with us via: https://goo.gl/trBXr6 so we can look into this further.Support???
Trying to get European maps as stated on their website. It doesn’t work. Trying to log into my account on their website. Again it doesn’t work. There’s no support contact number. Routing is ok like any other navigation provider. The only thing I really like is how fast it calculates and optimizes routes. But $159.99/year is a steep cost especially with no support.Show lessdibro2384

Hi there!Thank you for providing your valuable feedback. Please reach out to us at https://goo.gl/trBXr6 if you have more questions?Awesome APP
We haven’t used it lately as we haven’t been able to travel with our RV but the app is great. On a trip back from Florida a couple of years ago we were warned of a problem ahead on the freeway, did we want to try a different route. We did and with our 38 foot travel trailer 11 feet 8 inches high we were routed through an under water tunnel in Alabama that was 12 feet high. Scary but we made it and on the other side in the middle of a downtown area but followed the directions and it took us to the park we were staying at that night.Show lessChulaks
Finally fixed
It took over four months to finally fix something that should have been a minor update as soon as customers where reporting the problem. Trimble needs to be doing a better job than that. A rendering problem on something that is inherently graphical is a show stopper. Most people pay a monthly fee for this software. I’ve been a long term user of their software and it’s going to take a lot for them to regain my trust after all the broken promises and delays. Hopefully the newest update doesn’t introduce any new bugs to the mess. Having said that, it’s nice that the broken features are back and functioning. When it works properly, it’s pretty much the best truck navigation available. You guys really ought to be using testflight to test changes with willing actual users before releasing updates that break existing functionality.Show lessTechie Trucker
