Re: CoPilot Live! (7) Review

Thanks for the review. I learned of CoPilot literally yesterday after searching for information on Navigator 7. I am in the US, and I have used Mapopolis for years; however, as you may know, Mapopolis has been sold to some other company and is no longer supported. In fact, if you go to theMapopolis site, you get what is virtually a blank page.

I have one niggle with your review; I don't think that you should be dinging CoPilot for house number problems. I think that house number problems are endemic to the map data, and since that data is coming from Navteq, the ding should be directed at them. The reason that I say this is that Mapopolis has the same problems; Mapopolis also used Navteq map data. I also know of instances where on-line map sites like Map Quest (also using Navteq) gives incorrect location of house numbers. In fact, they locate my home at the same point that Mapopolis does, and the location is incorrect.

That said, one thing that I would have liked to have seen is how does it compare to Navigator and/or Mapopolis. One thing in particular that I do not like about Mapopolis is that I must open every county map that I want to travel through, if I am not using major roads - the Interstate system in the US, individually so that it may find the best route through that county. In planning a route with CoPilot, is it necessary to do anything like this?

Overall, your reivew has likely swayed my purchase choice to CoPilot rather than waiting for Navigator 7 - which may never be released in the US for the Pocket PC market.

Thanks again.
