Re: CoPilot Live! (7) Review
Right - a Hard reset has solved my issues, and brought up some new ones
A couple of minor cosmetic issues, and I'm comparing here to TomTom obviously:
It doesn't seem possible to see how many satelitles you are locked onto, only wether you have a 2d or 3d fix. Small I know, but useful.
Can't find a way of displaying a similar amount of information on the screen as you get in Tomtom. For example - ETA, Distance left, Arrival time, current time. You can get the Speed, time remaining and Distance remaining. Which brings me on to the most important part:
Routing Estimation: I live in Sidcup. At weekends I often drive into town (Liverpool street way). This takes (at best) 30 minutes. Copilot reckons I'll do it in 18..... Tomtom reckons 32, which is about right. I think the problem lies on the fact that I take the A20, A2, A102, A13. All A roads. I think that it believes I will be doing 45mph all the way. But the speed limit for most of the way in is either 40 or 30mph. Add in all the traffic lights etc and you're never going to do it in that time.
This all sounds very negative I know, but I do actually like the product. It obtains a lock much faster than TT, looks far far nicer, is much smoother than TT when it's scrolling. If I could work out how to get the ETA more accurate I think this would be superb.
