    Sorry... But for $150 I expect a few bells and whistles... Especially when they say it's included.

    And if RM offered an App on iOS, I would not be paying for any hardware and so I would expect their App to be in the same $150 ballpark... I can buy a refurbished 530 for $200... So the price of the CoPilot is not all that cheap.

    I still use CoPilot... And will continue to...
    But that might be in conjunction with a GPS.

    Ya, bonus points for RM!!!

    If CoPilot was doing the same as RM, I would greatly appreciate it... Instead, I go to their support threads only to see that some of my questions were posted by others... Three Years Ago... At that point I gave up on "support".

    kind of humorous... I merely mention limitations, and did so generically, about my current setup... and you ask what they were...

    So I told you... Again... Then you are shocked that I would possibly critique an App that you personally favor... Priceless!!!

    Stay Safe,

    I've never really bothered with it. My other apps hardly use 1/10th of a meg of data.

    I really have no idea on what all copilot can do. All i've ever done is input address and drive. For $150 and it gets me there. That's all i care about. Other then the active traffic to which i'll use google also. Neither one of them are accurate. Google can tell you 5 minutes added to your drive, and 5 minutes later there's now 15 minutes added to your drive. What starts out as 30 minutes left, turns in to 3 hours. In california.

    I love mine. Wouldn't even dream of doing my job without it. Sure saves the hassle of plotting my cross country drive with the atlas. And having to make phone calls once i get in to town. IF there's a signal. And having to find your way back out.
     
    MidWest_MacDaddy Thanks this.
