Ive been a CoPilot user for last 6-7 years (CoPilot Truck for Laptop, ect), but I am far from impressed with this app version. I originally installed on my iPhone 5 expecting a sleek, sharp looking display, but was quickly disappointed that the longer iP5 screen is not supported. Reviews of their forums revealed that they have been promising an update for sometime (were working in it, weve submitted to Apple, should be out soon) but thats been months ago. I wonder if these are just to placate users while no updates are actually in the works.
Next the interface to plan trips and routes is quite clumsy and awkward to use, requiring multiple steps thru the menus to plan anything other than a basic one stop trip. Button options need to be morel logically placed with edit trip and clear destination buttons available on the driving menu instead of deeper into the other menus. The drag feature is also kind of useless except for nearby close routing, especially on the small iPhone screen. I prefer to zoom into map and tap a road and add "route thru here" to change route profile to suit my preferences. The app also lacks the ability to select a particular section of route and avoid like is available in other versions.
Truck POIs (truck stops, weigh stations, truck washes, tire shops, ect) are pretty much lumped all under the same map icon ( a little truck cab) and includes highway exits under that same icon. There needs to be more separation of truck specific icons ($) weigh station, (X123) for exits, ect.
Ive also experienced many glitches and have to close and restart the app to resume normal use.
At $149, I expect more support than just map updates. The CoPilot Live HD (19.99) that I used for awhile received far more support and was far more polished and sleek than this high priced truck version. Sure the no truck routes/height restrictions are nice to have, but until more interest in improving this product bumps up the bar, its not Im my opinion worth the cost.
