    Just like the title says. I have an ipad mini with copilot and either I turn on truck services and it announces lots of useless information or not.

    Is there a way to setup or workaround so that copilot only announces weigh stations?

    My truck gps announces upcoming scales. Not sure what you're trying to do here. Is "copilot" a program or app?

    Copilot is an app. I don't have it so I am not certain on the particulars of it.

    Hey Hey, wonderin' what the coops are doin' eh? Years ago, the CB was the truckers best friend, Lord knows I went around plenty of them in my day, all thanks to the CB radio. Now, it seems, people get off on telling you the wrong info, if they come back at all. :biggrin_25513: I had a friend, years ago, that had the telephone numbers of all the coops that she'd go past, and, before cell phones, she'd stop and call them. If someone answered, they were probably open. :biggrin_2559:

    Sad but so true, and it wasn't that long ago.

    droidtruckerstop is a free app. tells you where the scales and major truckstops are in your area.

    mydattrucker is another free app, tells you where all the truckstops, walmarts, rest areas, service shops, cat scales, hotels, truck washes, and pacific prides are in your area.

    copilot is cheaper then the other brands for a reason. for everything those more expensive brands can do. there's an app for that. for free.

    i don't rely on the coops apps either, like posted above, human input, and humans love to play games.

    If you don't know why answer? CoPilot is a full functioning GPS Program for Android or Windows and updated regularly, unlike some well known gps companies.

    It's one of the truck services alerts. If you tick it, it will announce useless info every mile. I downloaded drivewyze...perhaps that will do what I'm looking.
