While many other manufacturers of navigation software are frightened since Google announced a free solution, the manufacturer of CoPilot Live can probably lean back comfortably. I expect that ALK's solution will emerge as a winner in this navigation revolution since it is no direct competitor to Google Maps navigation, because it offers offline navigation. Whereever you cannot get data or it is extremely expensive, CoPilot Live can quickly pay off. Unlike many other providers (such as TomTom or Navigon) this app is offered for a great price: for the application, including maps D-A-CH (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) you pay only UK £ 22.60, while other programs are sold for about double the price. 
But this is no stripped down or strange program, CoPilot Live comes in version 8 and is also available for iPhone and Windows Mobile (*sic*). It offers industry-standard features such as 

• Lane Assistant
• Navigation even in tunnels
• Next 2 turns
• Pedestrian Mode
• Online Weather

In practical use, I could test CoPilot Live in Germany and Spain. The menu always worked smoothly and took me - as far as I can determine - without detours to my destination. Thanks to a cheap car holder and charger it will probably replace my current car navigation soon.

Great features and a really fair price helped CoPilot Live to score the full credit in this review. It is available in two versions, either in the Android Market for UK £ 22.60 (DA-CH), UK £ 52.16 (Europe), in stores or online from the manufacturer.
