    Can you install it on more than one device at a time?

    Yes sir, you sure can. As long as you use the same e-mail address as the one you purchased it with, you can use it on multiple devices of the same operating system (Android tablet, Android phone, etc).

    I also ran it today for a couple of hours in airplane mode and as snowwy said, it works. In airplane mode, the device's signal is blocked.
     
    Big Herb The Trucker Thanks this.

    I will give you one more tidbit on the CoPilot. I have mentioned this in a couple of other threads. @snowwy said ALK (the makers of CoPilot) sometimes puts it on sale for $99 around the Thanksgiving/Christmas holidays. It was about this time of year that I wanted to purchase it, but I decided to take his advice and wait. Sure enough, I bought mine when it was on sale for $99.

    You can purchase the traffic update subscription if you want to. I have never used it, not even during the free trial period. You will need internet access for that.

    If you get it and need any help (you probably won't need any, it's that simple to use), send me a pm. Will be glad to help you figure it out.

    With my old gps the copilot, it was pretty good to route on the loops on its own.
    The RM does not always always adjust the route to stay on the loop.
    Indianapolis, RM will take you from i69 to i465south to i70 to go west on i70. At 5:15pm I would prefer to stay out of the city. So I take I465 west around to i70 on the west side of Indy. The whole time the RM is trying to route me back to the Center of Indy to i70. If your in a area your not familiar with it can get very confusing!!
