Great for offline use, finally AppleCarPlay connectivity!

CoPilot has been a stalwart for decades, great for offline use when visiting NZ with miserly telco data restrictions…
It’s great to finally see AppleCarPlay working but some functionality is not working compared to the standard-alone phone app display:

In particular the SPEED display is missing in CarPlay mode!

ALSO CoPilot fails to display AT ALL when in CarPlay Split Screen mode!

Fix that and you get maximum ratings!
Even in stand-alone phone-app mode the ability to choose which info to display at bottom of the navigation screen (eg. ETA/Journey time/Speed etc) seems to have been removed compared to older versions…
Otherwise a dependable app when data is down for whatever reason.

Not useful

This app is not good because the volume is so low you can’t use it as intended. You can barely here the voice instructions with the volume as high as possible

Recent changes, October 2026

These recent changes made to the app absolutely suck! The folks at CoPilot couldn’t leave well enough alone, and figured now that you know how the app works, let’s change everything so you won’t have a clue how to use it. And this is the way I found it just hours before needing it to do my a job. Apparently these folks never heard the old saying, “If it isn’t broke, DON’T FIX IT!” Looks like it’s time to find something else. If you haven’t selected this app yet, “Don’t!” Spare yourself the anguish. I’ll be d@mned if I’m going to keep paying for something that I no longer know how to use!

Rage Bait

I’m 90% sure this is the same CoPilot GPS Navigation system that my work uses and oh my lord is this the worst navigation system to ever exist. Been using it for over 2 years at my job and it still gets me just as mad as my first time using it. The addresses are extremely inaccurate, it recalculates your route if you move a millimeter in the wrong direction, when it designs a route it’ll take you back and forth a lot, and its line of travel is absolutely ridiculous. An example is it can direct you to take a lap around a neighborhood for one street over you’ve just made a left for. I can’t tell you how much time I’ve wasted with this junk. I wish we used Apple Maps, Google Maps, literally anything else other than this garbage but I’m pretty sure the company I work for uses the cheapest junk available including this program.

Dirt Road

With obvious better chooses, Copilot try’s to route me down dirt roads.

Usually great … but

Something not quite right with this version. Usually traverse France in its entirety with no issues but this version keeps dropping out of navigation mode and back to map basic screen but you don’t realise it’s done it. After the 4th or 5th time I gave up. Have reinstalled the app and maps twice but makes no difference. Hoping a bug fix will address this soon.

Sad after latest update

The new version often won’t make a route to destination unless i am online, even tho i have 3.5 gb north America downloaded and saved . the previous version never had a problem like this

New version is really bad

We got a year to save money, now their new version does not have any addresses I have tried to find. Their estimated drive times are out by 50%. They actually estimate that my big truck will get to location faster than a CA car. They have not updated any of the road closures I sent in. Their update kicked us out for days and then we lost all our saved locations. Consistently wants to take non truck routes. We a refund.

Update has ruined the app

The latest update has ruined the app and made it unusable. The calculate button does nothing and you can’t begin your journey. From 5 stars to 1

New Version Is working Great!!

I’ve been using the older version for the last six years. I was a little hesitant on the new version. So far, everything is working out great on new version. I wish my RV system had Apple CarPlay, so I could utilize best part of update.

Co-ordinates

I’ve used this app for years, now I can’t seem to input coordinates to navigate to a specific place. There are so few “places” to be going in CoPilot I’ve always navigated to a coordinate to get to caravan sites. Where has this function gone? Help!

New update ruined it

I have been using copilot for 2 1/2 years. The most recent update that changed the interface from gray to blue, and blatantly rips off a garmon truck gps compeltely ruined this app. Before the update this beat the hell out of any truck gps you can buy at a truck stop. Now they made it exactly like the truck gps you can buy at a truck stop.

Thumbs down on New Version

Mostly negative review on the new version. Got a developer response. Hwever that doesn’t change the fact that the app lost a lot functionality and I still have a job to do. Found another app that suits my needs and I thank Trimble for pushing me to discover something new. Starts with H and is named after a tool.

no good

The only way to quit navigation is to force quit the app. There is no command to stop navigating. The previous version of this app worked well. Since it’s been updated, I’m ready to throw it away.

Good but needs improvement

Hi this is the only way I can contact, I'm happy with the update so can be used on Apple CarPlay but when I'm using it it won't automatically mirror my phone to put the screen to night mode. What I have noticed that if I keep pulling the charger cable in and out it sometimes works and the screen will go into night mode, now and know if this is a glitch but one way you could get around it is if you could add a option like there is on phone to change from day and night or automatic.just a button to make it easy to change and I'd be happy

No confidence in the updated App

Tried to send be down a low height restricted underpass in Rouen in France, previously failed to turn back on daylight running after going through a dark tunnel - no confidence after 4 good years

Update lockout

Since the latest update I have been locked out of my co-pilot app no point paying when I can’t use it

Love CoPilot but ….

Edit review: 27/9 No option to scroll HOME option or WORK option or any of my FAVOURITES option via CarPlay

Recent update is problematic

Following a recent update after typing in the destination you are landed on a page which asks ‘Add Stop’ - having chosen my destination I don’t want to add a stop! I hesitate, but there is no other option. So I press it anyway. Okay it’s accepted my destination.
Then happy with the route I press start. I get to the instructions but if I want to leave that page there is no menu button! I have to close the app down and start again.

Scroll Issue

On the iPhone 17 Pro Max, any menu that you need to scroll through, starting from the top, when you scroll it jumps all the way to the bottom and if you move past the area by accident and try to go back, you gotta start from the bottom again. Also, the scroll moves extremely fast. which makes it difficult to not make an accident and move pass the location or item you’re looking for. Please fix thanks!
