Had to downgrade
I normally don’t reviews, but in this scenario it’s must for your benefit. This version of the app added an auto renew features, which broke the app, made it completely unusable, because it won’t let us pay for the service.
I actually enjoy using this gps service while I’m driving my semi. The solution for me was to downgrade my app to the last version, which was a pain, but it solved the issue.
Now Customers love convenience and ease of use, forcing customers to message support to active service is basically shooting yourself in the foot. Creating an avoidable inconvenience and making it difficult for customers to pay just isn’t financially logical.
Just downgrade the app from the market till you’re able to resolve this bug.Show lessBlazinshotguns
MOST UNRELIABLE GPS THERE IS!!! WASTE OF MONEY
I’ve been using this product for a few months now and to be honest there are so many things wrong with it that it’ll take me forever to go into details. I would like to point out the main ones.
1. The maps are so many years out of date that it is disturbing to know that you are paying a monthly fee for this things not to be updated constantly.
2. Width restrictions, Height restrictions and no left or right turns are literally a myth in this application. I cant think of how many times I've been driving and this gps has taken me to width and height restricted roads and I’ve been left to do dangerous manoeuvres trying to het out of the mess it has put me in.
3. There isn’t a such thing as effective routing I’ve had to keep my maps on 2D to be able to save myself on many extra miles of driving because this gps always takes the longest route. And its not down to settings because I’ve all of them.
4. I was also paying for cameras and live traffic all lies. Barely ever does it show me any speed cameras on the road let alone warn me about them and live traffic is a joke right next to non existent. It tells me there is traffic where there isn’t and shows no traffic where there is.
Complete waste of money for many months only reason I’ve stayed is because i was being reimbursed the money from work but no more.Show lessMigz#1

This used to be a pretty good gps for the truck although it had is quirks like wanting you to take off ramps and get right back on the interstate. Now to the latest update...they brag about optimizing the eta for stoplights and traffic but all they did is make it useless! I used to be able to look at the eta and add 15 minutes or so and be dead on and now it’s on average 3 to 4 hours off and is completely useless. At least my Rand McNally had the option to fine tune the eta to your driving style and I didn’t have to pay yearly for it. Also the maps are way out of date and never have newer addresses so I’m stuck using my phone when I get close to where I need to goShow lessjamespupkin
Failed Test Before Actual Use!!!
I tried to test this app before purchasing to see if it would be helpful for navigating a trip in our RV. I couldn’t so I purchased the RV app $29. I then tested the app by choosing a destination that I knew would be a scary route in any large vehicle. Sure enough, the route from Sedona AZ (Rancho Sedona RV Park) to Flagstaff AZ gives only 2 options for routes! One is the switchback and very steep route and the other takes you on an undeveloped dirt road! Try it and then do a satellite image you will see the switchbacks and the dirt road!
When I mentioned this to the app developers, they asked me to recreate my issue and save it for them to analyze. This meant that they didn’t even try to recreate it themselves. Not proactive at all and I’m not being paid to be their quality assurance tech!Show lesscamplaundry
Copilot RV review after 1600 mile trip
I bought this thinking it would be a great app for RV GPS guidance. Well let me list the pros:
Interface is good with traffic display
Customize view
RV set up
Speed alerts * more on this issue with speed alerts
Downloaded maps *. Issues below
Search function is OK. Not bad but you have to enter city zip then enter address or name. Would be easier with just one search entry
Cons.
Download maps are not upgraded. We ran into many situations that my wife’s WAZE running at the same time saved us. Copilot had missed turns directly to RV spots and I entered the address to the spot. Missed turns on 2 locations that Waze saved us.
The lane assist arrows are so small at the top of the iPhone you can’t see them especially in sun light. The speed alert went off so many times I turned it off. I am in a RV I don’t speed but it went off. Thought it might be me and raised the alert to 10mph over and still would go off at random times.
Overall I can not trust the app which is why I bought it. We ended up using WAZE since we could not trust Copilot. Overall a 2 but it has promise just not there yet.Show lessCigar Tri Guy
Disappointed
Had read some good reviews but in general have been disappointed with the interface of the app and poor location choices for searches over months we have had the app. St Augustine Florida does not populate as a search choice, for example, (either when trying to plan a route from New England. Any “web” search is just a yelp handcuff. The routing has been good through the tricky parts of CT, NJ and NY pikes, but that is not enough to overcome the inability to give a reasonable destination for initial route planning or when changing a destination on the fly. It would have warranted 4 stars if it were a lower cost subscription or was free. Not likely to renew the subscription.Show lessJMDXray
Disturbing and distracting but not helping
Tried it for a few days in London. I thought it was absolutely free but the full version cost £14/year. I wouldn’t use it even if it was free. The 3D ability is more like stucked in between 2D and 3D... not too pleasant. The displayed info and the navigation aid tools are very confusing thus more distracting than helping. On a 4 mile section of the road it missed 3 speed cameras. Can’t change the warning sound for camera alerts. When it approaches the cameras it doesn’t show the actual camera on the map or very occasionally or just the red light cameras but not the speed cameras. Sygic is a day and night difference and far better than Copilot. Sygic charges only £18 one off for lifetime world map. I’m not saying Sygic is perfect because it also has some issues but it should make Copilot developers think what to do in the future to stay in the game. The other alternative is TomTom app which is a solid brand in the industry. They charge similar amount to Copilot on an annual basis. There’s no question which one to choose... I just simply deleted Copilot. Sorry guys but you have to put some serious efforts to catch up with the competition.Show lessBobby Bloost

We understand this can be frustrating. We are working towards making this better. We would appreciate it if you could send us the details at https://goo.gl/trBXr6. Thank you!Shonky Trimble
I’ve used this app since 2012 when I purchased Australian maps. Since the Trimble branding I was somehow switched to Truck profile. I somehow agreed to a trial- because the message is Trial is ended and I must Re subscribe. I say no. App won’t let me do anything anymore- says that is premium feature. My Aus map even downloaded as restore of my purchase/ licence. Then disappearedShow lessNarrogin Valley

Thanks for your review! Sorry for the inconvenience. You must have been using the 14 day Trial when the Truck feature was activated. In order to restore your previously purchased licenses (Car mode) you need to sign in to CoPilot GPS as an existing user. All our previous Premium App are now consolidated with CoPilot GPS Version 10 and therefore have been removed from the App-Store. If you have any further questions or need help using CoPilot, please do not hesitate to contact us via: https://goo.gl/trBXr6 so that we can follow up. Thank you!User for a few years
Firat used the app while travelling really good walking function. Used at home for car since and been happy. Used to alert to street to late but seems to be fixed. Something uses may not no is it works as speed warning if you dont input destination just in turn onGiltai
Not bad
Over all its good. Only issues really annoying is when you pick a route and instead of stick with it gos trying to all the time take you through some kind of highways just to bring you to same interstate 10 miles down the road. Or it keeps wanting for you to take exit just so you can go back right on interstate. Some of the routes its splits for example instead of just keep i95 to go to fl it keeps wanting to take 95 then bunch of different highways just so you can get back to i 95 later traffic alert not that great at all and when they doing construction it tells you that interstate is closed completely and trying to reroute youShow lessEK-0311
