ALK’s CoPilot Live app for iPhone has hit the UK Appstore.
The feature list includes turn-by-turn voice directions, UK & Ireland maps data, full UK post codes and 2D/3D map data.
Additional features include ‘LiveLink’ location sharing and messaging, 5-day weather forecast and lane indicator and clearturn displays.
Best of all, ALK have matched the price of CoPilot in the Android Market store, at £25.99 it’s very reasonable. So reasonable that as I’ve a long drive ahead of me later today I’ve gone and bought it.
