CoPilot Live Premium has just been released on Android and it is on offer for the first 7 days.
During the first week you can get the SatNav full software for £14.99 – afterwards it jumps to its normal price of £29.99.
Unlike Google Maps, it offers offline Navteq maps for when there is no signal, although Google Maps is free of course.
And despite the new name, confusingly the Premium services, such as traffic, will cost extra (currently £9.99 a year).
An iOS version will also be release as soon as Apple approved, but no word on whether or not that will get the same discount – let’s hope so, as iOS doesn’t have the competition of Google Maps.
UPDATE: CoPilot have confirmed the iOS version will be discounted for the first 7 days, so we’re keeping an eye out for the release date.

Is it any different to the CoPilot I’ve got on my iPhone at the moment?
Is it any different to the CoPilot I’ve got on my iPhone at the moment?
Yes it is different. CoPilot say it is “a completely new app, not an upgrade”.
No 100% sure of the differences, having not used v8, however they have confirmed that existing Maps will not work with the new version, so you might want to think twice if you have a large collection of bought maps.
The initial 50% would help though if you do want to upgrade.

Have the maps been upgraded? I purchased the new app and found that the maps are exactly the same as the CoPilot v8, and also dated 2010-03.
