Hiya..we use co-pilot & it's never let us down,used it for 3 months also whilst travelling around Spain,added bonus too you can put in vehicle dimensions & weight etc,I think you can get it on a trial basis too..hope this helps

I'm not sure but do you need to have GPS to be able to use sat nav on an iPad? So you would need an iPad with a phone card slot. Please tell me I'm wrong!

Google best for us .. Granted not offline but great on mobile

Just get a Bluetooth GPS and connect to IPad. Works very well. I have a copy of Co-Pilot on my IPad .. Depends how techi you are but you can get it for free if you download it from somewhere like GPSPower Forum or you can just buy it.

I had it working on my Blaupunkt Sat Nav but there is a problem with the speech setting and it misses the first part of words. Not found a fix for it so don't use it. Works very well on IPad and also Samsung Android.

Another one for Co Pilot, had it on my Ipad for few years now and found it works very well !!

Been using Co Pilot for a while and have just updated my iPad to a Pro.
I also treated myself to the Caravan version of CoPilot so that I could input vehicle dimensions.
Been using it all the way through France and now to the south of Spain and it has worked very well. With the powerful processor it is lightning fast at finding the route.
You do need the cellular version of iPad as that has GPS. The wi-fi version would need a separate GPS antenna. That would also mean that you wouldn’t be able to charge the iPad while driving.

Oh, forgot to say.
CoPilot works offline. You download the maps you need before you set off.
You can download the whole of Europe or individual countries, depending on how much storage you can spare.

Thanks all.
We bought an IPad Pro and SPECIFICALLY asked for one that would do as a Sat Nag.
Guess what.... we were told it would do it ok !!!
WRONG !!!!
So when we get home...... hell will happen in our Apple store !!!!
Fortunately, we bought a second hand iPhone 6i as well, so our TomTom works on that.....

I can understand a sales assistant not being fully conversant with all the technical side of iPads if they work in an electrical store.
If the work in a Apple store it’s inexcusable. They should know there very limited range of products inside out.

Hi all, does CoPilot avoid single track roads successfully when decent alternatives are available?
I have an AguriRV700 which takes dimensions etc but has taken us down some hellish roads when better options were available.

No it doesn’t and routing is sometimes bewildering.

I now fully understand why a lot of people have two sat nag devices as in fact we do. the problem arises when they start to argue with other, one saying straight on, the other saying turn left!
We laughed our socks of the last time this happened as the TOM TOM has a female voice, & the other one from Google app on I phone has a mans voice!, they disagreed often on the route, that we didnt know which was one correct., until we discovered one was set for non motorways, the other wasnt...doh!
But we did agree it was like us arguing, so a typical married couple! and it was very funny at the time.

I used to swear by my co pilot, but of late I tend to swear at it. Im sure its not as good as it was it seems to get confused a lot. Maybe its me

I think its how you have it set up, have co pilot caravan on a ipad and has never put a foot wrong. it just seems to work for us, but now I have said that its going to go tits up.

Clarification Please. Would I need a smart-phone with an ordinary sim in order to get a GPS location if we are away from wifi on our bikes?

 

[adonisito]

We've been on the road 5 months now using CoPilot, it's good but make sure your real copilot is on the map ! For example it tried to take me off a motorway onto a road bridge. None of the apps are infallible, but copilot is one of the best.

 

[Shrimp]

We use Co-Pilot on an iPhone, no need to be online.

 

[adonisito]

Us too.

 

[gerry mcg]

i use Copilot on both my iPhone and i have the MH specific one on my iPad - for iPads, it used to be only the 3G/4G ones that had a GPS chip in them as previously mentioned

Thank you for your replies.

Provided the smart phone has GPS built in it will work fine. IPhone certainly has GPS and I would think any make of phone describing itself as ‘Smart’ would too.
You don’t need wi-fi or mobile signal as all the maps and software are already on the phone.
There is a difference with iPad as the wi-fi only version does NOT have GPS. Navigation apps will not work.

Still the same on the latest versions.
