Pocket PC - Entering an Address

Running up CoPilot you will be greeted with the main Welcome screen. Either tapping the GOING TO button (top left) or on any other CoPilot screen tapping the Create/Edit Trip button will take you to the Select Stop menu.







You now have a wide array of choice here, selecting Contact will pull up contacts in Pocket Outlook. Favourites are favourite ********s you have stored, you can choose a POI say if you want to go to the London Eye. The best features are:-

• Intersection
  • Where you can choose a junction or intersection between two roads
• Search for POI's
  • Ability to find POI's close to your ********
• Latitude Longitude
  • Where you can enter a Lat/Long and be directed to this (which really could be invaluable!)
• Saved Trip
  • If you drive a trip regularly, why not save the departure/destination so you can use it in future. Also great for planning trips ahead of time!

You can also define addresses as your HOME and WORK, and also enter the address using the country (e.g. UK), followed by Town, then Street. You can also use 5 digit UK postcodes but not the full 7 digits that currently exist in the UK. When entering an address, you first of all enter the country you are going to use, then the city/postcode, and then you drill down to the street name and even the house number.







CoPilot Live 5 will navigate you to the house number or there abouts, and it will provide a more accurate result where you can choose whether to just navigate to the street, a nearby address it recognises, or a street that crosses the one you have selected which makes getting to your destination much easier than comparative GPS applications.







One of the best features that CoPilot has always had is multiple stops. This means you can create an itinerary, (or multiple routes), and either have CoPilot choose the optimum route between them, or you can order the stops yourself and choose which one to stop at first.







Different Types Of Screens

Now that you've configured CoPilot Live 5 and have entered your journey as with previous versions of CoPilot, ALK allow you to choose from four different screens. Namely Guidance, Navigating, Walking and Planning. The main differences between the Guidance and Navigating screens are that Navigating won't give you turn by turn voice instructions. Walking is more tailored to sensitive direction changes and slow speeds like walking, and the planning screen allows you to plan a route.











Pocket PC Safety Screen

The Pocket PC Safety Screen has changed quite a bit since CoPilot Live 4. Many CoPilot Live 4 users didn't like the small map that appeared on the Safety Screen and ALK have responded to user request and provided a much larger graphical map which now expands to nearly full screen and still gives you full direction and turn information on the same screen like it used to by reducing the overall size of text that appears on the Safety Screen. I think this is a much better version of the Safety Screen. Overall the Safety Screen is greatly enhanced and you very rarely see any text cut off like you would under CoPilot Live 4. When you get close to a turn the Safety Screen will reduce the information it has and replace the majority of the screen with a full map showing where you are, and which turn you need to take with a large arrow on the map.







CoPilot Toolbar

ALK have still kept the CoPilot toolbar that you would see at the top of the screen but they have enhanced this to include more buttons on a pull down menu.







The new toolbar now allows you to select things like Driver Safety Screen, Next Turn, Destination, Where Am I, 3D View and Itinerary. This makes CoPilot Live 5 a lot easier to use and navigating around the screen a breeze with nice large buttons that are easily touched with a finger rather than a stylus.







3D vs 2D

One of the new features we have already mentioned in CoPilot Live 5 is the 3D mode. This is a welcome addition, especially for the people that requested this feature after they upgraded to CoPilot Live 4. Now that all the main players like TomTom, Navman, PowerLOC have introduced 3D screens, ALK have followed suit and implemented one of the more richer looking 3D screens available. You can see the difference between 3D and 2D screens below.







You really do get to see a lot more of the local roads when in 3D mode. 3D mode is easily selectable by tapping the top half of the Safety Screen, then choosing the screen views option and choosing 3D View.



Below are a few other 3D sample screenshot's both in 3D mode and also in Navigating mode.











Landscape Mode

CoPilot Live 5 also natively supports landscape mode, so for instance if you have a Landscape switching utility, or you have one of the later Pocket PC's with Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition, you can use CoPilot in Landscape mode! The screenshots below are from a Mitac Mio in Landscape mode.







Instructions and Destination Screens

Two more screens you can select are the Instructions and Destination Screens.







M6 Toll Road Support

CoPilot Live 5 has the very latest 2004 Q1 maps, which means you will get the full M6 Toll Road using NAVTEQ's data unlike other applications like TomTom Navigator 3 and Navman SmartST Pro which missed out on this release of data with TeleAtlas.







Night Mode Support

Another new feature in CoPilot Live 5 is the ability to not only use CoPilot in Night mode by changing the colour scheme, but also the ability to let CoPilot detect when it thinks dusk or dawn is for the area you are in, and to have it switch automatically for you.







Points Of Interest & London Congestion Zone

Once you have exported the POI's onto the Pocket PC, and also set to warn against them you will be notified when you approach a POI. CoPilot Live 5 also supports the London Congestion Zone which has been added just before the public release which allows for you to avoid the London Congestion Zone which drivers into London will welcome. POI alerting can now be configured down to 0.2 miles which differs compared to CoPilot Live 4.







UK Safety Camera Support

CoPilot Live 5 also incorporates the PocketGPSWorld.com Safety Camera Database as of May 3rd 2004 which is pre-loaded into CoPilot.



Traffic Reporting

CoPilot Live 5 has a new feature which everyone has been eagerly awaiting back when CoPilot Live 4 came out. It is now here with CoPilot Live 5, and again, ALK have outdone themselves with the Traffic Reporting. CoPilot Live 5 will offer the Traffic Reporting as an upgrade to the base version of CoPilot Live 5. This will include Single Vehicle Tracking, Messaging. Traffic Reporting will use a GSM/GPRS connected mobile phone. As at the time of writing this review, pricing is currently being finalised and should be announced shortly. Traffic Reporting is pulling Road Traffic Reports from the AA.



Below I started driving a journey to Lanark, enabled Traffic Reporting, initially was prompted with no traffic incidents found, but later on in the journey was notified of a traffic incident.







Below I was notified of slow traffic in 141.5 miles. It is quite a distance away from me, but I had the option to Avoid this or continue on the same journey. I decided to play it safe and avoided the incident, and then was prompted with the new calculated route and was again prompted if I wanted to accept the new route or not.







Traffic Reporting and Avoidance can be quite handy, but there are downsides to Traffic. Not just with CoPilot Live 5, but with all types of products using TMC (Traffic Message Channel) or data from iTIS or the AA. Sometimes this information is not up to date, or sometimes it is difficult to route you around an incident, so although it can really help you avoid some sticky situations it can also put you straight into the center of another incident. It really is down to personal preference, the roads you drive and where the incidents are. Some people will love this feature, some people will loathe it. I found it quite valuable and helpful, but I'll leave this up to you to decide.



CoPilot Options

CoPilot Options is available from the Tools menu and will allow you to configure nearly every setting of CoPilot from what type of vehicle you drive, down to the display and notification of POI's and automatic day/night mode changing.















Live / Traffic Options

CoPilot's Live and Traffic Options screen allows you to configure the Live Communications, enable messaging between web client and Pocket PC, set the tracking update frequency and more importantly set the incident reporting.







Setting the Incident Reporting includes features like which screen to be notified on, the default option to take (Avoid or Ignore) and whether to speak the incidents and also the Incident Notification timer.







How much has CoPilot really advanced ?

One question I always receive a lot on every package is people wanting to know how much further the latest version of an application has improved upon previous versions. Here we show some screenshot's dating back from CoPilot 3.5, CoPilot Live 4 and now CoPilot Live 5, and you should be able to see the differences here.















CoPilot Version 5 is what I would call a major upgrade, the whole interface has been re-designed from scratch, new views added, better safety screen, new maps and a whole lot more. It just doesn't feel like it has had a few tweaks here or there like most of their competitors, and CoPilot Live 5 really does feel like it has jumped substantially into the lead.
