ALK Technologies is launching ActiveTraffic, a real-time traffic service that integrates traffic flow information with CoPilot Live GPS navigation app. Developed in co-operation with INRIX (which we covered in the past), the CoPilot Live ActiveTraffic “intelligently calculates” the best route to avoid traffic congestion and provide an accurate estimated time of arrival (ETA). The software (actually it’s the INRIX’ servers) continuously monitors your route for delays as you drive and alerts you if a faster route is available. If it is available, CoPilot Live will indicate the estimated time you’ll save and provide an option to preview the new route. At a glance you can see the real-time traffic conditions along your route – sections where traffic is traveling freely are indicated green, those with moderate congestion in yellow and severe congestion in red. CoPilot Live, of course, takes all of this information into account to maintain a realistic estimated time Read More

ALK Technologies today is releasing a new version of the CoPilot Live app with a feature called ActiveTraffic. It uses real time traffic flow information that mates with dynamic routing technology to get you to your destination by selecting alternate routes, then accurately estimating your new arrival time. The traffic information comes from INRIX, which is a leading provider of traffic data. I tried the new app, and it certainly showed some traffic snarls. But here in southern Arizona, things don't get too dicey even at rush hour, so there wasn't any need to select a new route. I could see very detailed information in Phoenix, where traffic can be downright hellish. The ActiveTraffic feature is US$9.99 for a 12 month subscription. Current owners of CoPilot Live v8 US Traffic subscribers will get upgraded to TrafficLive for free. CoPilot Live USA is $4.99, but text to speech adds $2.99, plus the Read More

If the last GPS app that I mentioned was not your thing, maybe this latest from ALK Technologies will be what you are looking for. Personally I have been eyeing the iPad version (CoPilot Live HD), but thankfully this one is priced much lower than $29.99. The app is called CoPilot Live USA and its a navigation app for the iPhone. Its also priced at $4.99. Of course, that is only an introductory price, which means it will be going up. Anyway, the app is described as; There are GPS navigation apps and there are PREMIUM GPS Navigation apps. With free map updates, Live Internet Search, 3D maps, Lane Assist realistic view, Multi-stop trip planning and more—CoPilot Live is full-featured, PREMIUM GPS navigation at its best. There is one catch though, a $2.99 catch which comes in the form of text-to-speech — in other words — if you want it you Read More
