    This is copy and paste from my Garmin Dezl 770 thread:

    CoPilot has great maps:

    The 'ying-yang arrows' button updates traffic. The '+ 1' in your screenshot indicates traffic delay.

    See: Guidance Display : CoPilot App Stores

    I'm curious to hear about end-user experiences with this product. I attended the ALK Summit in the past and left with a positive impression of CoPilot that i've been meaning to investigate further.

    Copilot is not bad they just update the app 1x every 2 years. And support sucks if you ever need to email them

    I’ve been busy.

    I thought it did... there’s about four mile between the truck stop and the aluminum mill. The Garmin gives the route via I-64 from the mill. From the truck stop, I’m routed up 231, I-69, 37, etc.

    Go figure.

    After using Copilot for laptop for almost a year I went back to Street&Trips. The reasons are many but the main one is the lack of POI visible on the route I am on. I gave Copilot months and months of tries hoping I will get used to but I always went back to S&T to find places where I can stop and such. Especially now with the ELD when I really need to have a plan A, B and even a plan C just in case.
    Maps wise Copilot is better as S&T is in many instances outdated. But easiness of finding stopping places along the route S&T is unbeatable hands down.
    Just to mention that Copilot support is almost nonexistent.

    Yes, I have fond memories of Streets & Trips.

    I’ve promised myself if I won a big lottery, I’d buy the name, perhaps the code, remedy the intellectual property conflicts
     
    Grumppy Thanks this.
