I love co-pilot. I prefer it over my garmin zumo660 in most situtations.
It's fast, offers you 3 routes to choose. You can choose preferred roads and to avoid others (not just motorways)
The downside: Can't beat zumo when planning the route.
Especially when you can't follow the troute and the satnav keep recalculating to a flag that you can't reach.
Zumo does reroute in very smart way and you don't have to ride through all POIs.

I have just downloaded M8 for the trip i'm doing tomorrow, seems decent, has speed camera alerts as well  ____________________ My opinion is neither copyrighted nor trademarked. If you like, I'll trade for one of yours.

I currently have Sygic, Copilot and Tomtom installed on my phone.
I love Sygic, it has nice maps, the voice alerts come at the right time, it really make driving or riding easy.
BUT, Copilot when you select the motorbike settings selects some great routes, when I travel a reasonable distance I try to use Copilot, it avoids motorways, but will use them if it has to, I have always been delighted with the ride when I use it to travel a reasonable distance. The only thing I don't like about it is the voice alerts arn't as good as Sygic, they only announce just before you turn, at 500m, 1mile, 2 miles, configurable but always fixed and I have missed junctions when it hasn't updated after the last junction quickly enough.
Always use Sygic when travelling just round town to find somewhere I haven't been.
TomTom's windey road option is a bit naff and just sends you down loads of single track, poor road surface roads
None of them are free, but £30 with lifetime maps I think is worth it for Copilot, as I say I love the routes it finds! |
