Easy To Use Navigation:
CoPilot Live 7 is designed to be as easy to use as a dedicated sat nav
system, no matter what mobile device you are running it on.
Automatic GPS setup. It does not matter whether your
device has built-in GPS or you need to use an external Bluetooth GPS receiver. Simply
select ‘GPS setup’ and CoPilot Live will do the rest. There's no
need for any complex configuration or Bluetooth pairing.
QuickStart storage card. CoPilot Live 7 is supplied on a
1GB pre-loaded memory card. There's no need to download maps in order to start
driving.
New user interface. With its redesigned user interface and
clear menus, CoPilot Live is incredible easy to use.
A series of hints, tips and tutorials on
the device, help explain the basics, and a comprehensive user manual can be found on
the CoPilot Central DVD.
Entering Your Destination:
It sounds obvious, but the primary job of a satellite
navigation is to guide you where you need to go. CoPilot Live 7 makes it easy with step
by step address entry and predictive searching.
Take me to the door!
CoPilot Live's street maps are accurate down to house number or full UK
postcode. It even knows which side of the road your destination is on.
 |
Address. Find an exact house
number, street or full UK post code for unrivalled destination entry accuracy. |
|
Points of interest. CoPilot Live 7
is packed full of useful locations such as hotels, restaurants, car parks, petrol stations,
cash machines and many more.
|
 |
Home. You can
programme your home address into CoPilot Live, making it easy to get back home at
the touch of a button. |
 |
Work. You can
programme your work address to get back to base easily. |
 |

Once you have entered in your destination(s), CoPilot
Live 7's new preview feature shows you the entire route before you set-off, so you
can be sure you are going to the right place. You can even watch a simulation of the
entire trip in advance!
Improved Map Display:
Once you have hit the road, CoPilot Live will guide you
to your destination with voice directions all the way. We take a safety first approach to
navigation, with the standard 'Driver Safety' mode only showing you a map
when you are close to a turn. As you approach each turn, a 2D or 3D map auto-zooms
so you can see exactly where you are and where to go next at a glance.
At the touch of a button you can change the display
to:
 |
3D. A birds eye perspective of
the road ahead, complete with on-road turn arrow and 3D Points of Interest icons. |
 |
Where Am I? – a 2D view
of the road showing your location at the zoom level of your choice |
 |
Next turn – a 2D map
showing where you are and where to go next. The map progressively zooms in as you
get closer to the turn |
 |
Destination – a 2D map
showing the entire route to your destination |
 |
Itinerary – view the turn by
turn directions for your journey |
 |
Safety – displays
at-a-glance text instructions and a large arrow of your next turn. |
You can also manually or automatically switch between
day and low-glare night map view to match the time of your journey.
Driver Safety:
How often have you seen people driving along a motorway with miles to go
until the next turn, but with their satellite navigation system glaring out with a 3D view of
the road?
CoPilot Live is designed to help you keep your eyes on
the real road, not on-screen. Our Driver Safety mode only shows you a map when you
need to do something like make a turn. Once you get within a kilometer of a turn, the
map appears, progressively zooming-in before returning to the safety screen.
You can adjust the Driver Safety settings in CoPilot Live
7 to suit your preferences, for example a 2D or 3D map or how close to a turn you
want a map to be displayed. You can even choose never to display a map, and rely on
CoPilot's voice guidance at each turn.
In Car, on Foor or Bike:
Because it runs on a mobile phone or portable device,
CoPilot Live is ready to guide you wherever you are, and however you are moving. Its
not just an in-car system:
 |
Walking. Get voice guidance and detailed
mapping to find the way around on foot. |
 |
Cycling.
Satellite navigation on your bicycle, with voice directions and cycling-specific
routes |
 |
RV.
CoPilot Live can calculate routes better suited to larger vehicles such as trucks,
caravans and Recreational Vehicles. RV routing favours main roads and avoids U-turns
when possible. |
 |
Straight
line – just enter your destination and CoPilot Live 7 will draw a line to
it. Its like being on the end of a piece of string. Just follow the line to your
destination! |
Other routing options include:
- Avoid toll roads
- Faster or Shorter routes
Points of Interest:
CoPilot Live includes thousands of exhaustively verified
Points of Interest (POI), with over 50 categories including hotels, restaurants, banks,
cash machines, car parks, petrol stations and many more.
Finding the nearest petrol station, car park or
other POI is made easy using the 'Find nearby POI' button from the main
menu. POIs in CoPilot are also searchable by brand, so you can look for your preferred
bank, petrol station or restaurant more easily.
POIs are displayed in CoPilot Live 7 both in 2D or 3D
map views, although you can choose not to see them. If you are running CoPilot Live on
a mobile phone you can select a POI and call it directly from within CoPilot. |
 |
Driving Abroad:
Working out the way to go in a foreign country
can be a real nightmare. The signs don't make sense, other drivers seem to get
angry with you for no reason, and - if you are British - everyone is driving on the wrong
side of the road.
CoPilot Live 7 removes the worry out of finding the way in
a different country. Simply purchase and download the maps you need from CoPilot
Central and get detailed turn instructions on-screen and spoken in your own language
wherever you go. You can be confident that you'll know the right way around a
roundabout or the direction to take at a complicated junction. It makes driving anywhere
as easy as driving in your home town.
Safety Camera Alerts:
The dreaded double flash of a safety camera can mean a fine or even loss of
license. CoPilot Live 7 has a pre-installed database of over 10,000 camera locations
across Europe as standard, with free updates periodically available through CoPilot
Central.
As you approach a camera, CoPilot Live provides on
screen and spoken warnings, reminding you to check your speed and that you are
driving safely within local legal limits. There's no need for a separate dedicated
warning system.
Note: safety camera locations are not available in
Switzerland, and customers are advised to deactivate camera warnings completely
when traveling in Switzerland to comply with local legislation.
Live Location Services:
CoPilot Live is a 'connected' GPS navigation system to provide you
– and others – with real time Live location-specific information about your
journey.
 CoPilot Live
Traffic – The optional CoPilot Live traffic service can detect and warn
you about congestion on your route. You can choose to avoid or ignore each incident
manually or automatically. You can also check for traffic incidents in other places too
– just enter the town or city name.
How do I get CoPilot Live traffic?
UK: Customers who purchase CoPilot Live with a phone from T-Mobile UK are
able to receive mobile internet traffic alerts as standard. Other customers will be able to
purchase a traffic upgrade from the CoPilot Live online store.
Customers
can access certain traffic information via the RDS TMC network. To receive TMC traffic information you will need to
purchase a separate TMC antenna or compatible GPS receiver.
 Live location
tracking on the Internet
CoPilot Live can use the mobile Internet to help you keep in touch with others
when you are on the move. You can send tracking invite e-mails from within CoPilot to
let friends, family or colleagues view your location live on an Internet map. They can
even send you instant messages and new destinations!
It's an ideal way to let people know where you are,
when you'll get there or simply that you've arrived safely.
