By on December 21, 2010 It’s my first choice of satnav app, and I’m happy to promote it as I think it’s worth your cash. It has also just been updated with the latest NAVTEQ maps and safety camera data. And lucky you, Santa has brought TEN copies of the app for me to give away!

It’s one of the top grossing apps on the UK App Store, and normally costs £19.99 (or €19.99 on the Irish App Store). Check out the main features: All you have to do to enter is leave a comment below, or retweet this tweet. The competition closes on Xmas Eve at midnight. Good luck! Read More

ALK Technologies have offered an update for the CoPilot Live HD North America app on the iPad. This latest update brings the app up to version 8.2.0.371 and arrives as a free update for those who had previously made the purchase. Otherwise, the app is $29.99 (and speaking from experience, this is well worth the money.) I will say it is a big download though, so be prepared to take up some serious space on your iPad—1.33GB. Of course, that large size is due to the map data being pre-loaded (which helps when you are in areas of spotty coverage). And speaking of the map data, that is one of the items that were updated in this latest update. “A complete map update featuring the latest Q3 2010 North America map data. Adds thousands of new miles of roads in the U.S. and Canada and hundreds of map improvements submitted by Read More

By Ben Harvell on May 11th, 2010 iPhone GPS navigation app updated and ready for iPad 3G models... The team at ALK Technologies has launched its GPS navigation app, CoPilot Live HD, for the iPad on the App Store. The app has been designed specifically for the iPad 3G’s GPS receiver and large screen to provide turn-by-turn, voice-guided navigation. With recent news of iPad’s being fitted into car dashboards, this is particularly exciting news for those shopping for a new SatNav device for their vehicle. Street maps are stored on the device and the app can display both 2D and 3D map views with turn instructions for the driver. The app automatically switches between portrait and landscape view and provides iPod controls from within the application, another bonus for those planning to dashboard-mount their new Apple tablet or connect it to their in-car sound system. CoPilot Live HD offers a feature Read More

Welcome to the first of two late-breaking editions this week of iPhone + iPad Gems. Once again, we’re taking a rapid-fire look at a big collection of recently-released applications across a wide collection of different categories. Eight of the apps are either iPad-exclusive or developed solely to run on the iPad, while the other two are iPhone and iPod touch applications. Our top picks of the week are Amazing Animals: Savanna for iPhone, Photogene for iPad, and TiltShift Generator for iPad. Read on for all the details. Developed solely as an iPhone application, Tapitu’s new edutainment title Amazing Animals: Savanna ($2) still manages to look quite good when upscaled to the larger display of an iPad. Conceptually, Savanna is extremely simple, presenting you with an ultra-wide panning landscape filled with baboons, ostriches, zebras, elephants, antelope, and the like, allowing kids to scroll left or right through the collection, touch any animal, Read More

It has been less than 24 hours since most of you first laid your hands on your iPad 3Gs and there is already a full-featured turn-by-turn navigation solution available in the App Store.  It’s called CoPilot Live HD. ALK Technologies first announced that CoPilot Live HD was coming to the App Store only two days ago and now it’s already available.  CoPilot Live HD is a turn-by-turn GPS navigation solution designed specifically for the iPad 3G that offers a new split driving view which combines a 3D or 2D map display with turn instructions, giving you all of the information you need in a single view without having to dig through menus. It also contains many of the same features the iPhone version offers, including turn-by-turn voice directions, multiple stop support, pre-trip planning, live local search, and thousands of pre-loaded POIs. CoPilot Live HD North America is now available in the Read More
