Hi,
Its true, I must have signed upto the newsletter on the US side of the ALK website - I received the mail complete with pics.
Looks similar to TomTom with the 3d view.
Maps apparently updated to May 2004!!!
Can't wait for the EU release.

I just put into a World Wide Web search “copilot live 5” and that info came up with pictures. The site was advertising the full product for around $350 not only bluetooth but wired versions as well, I’ll see if i can find the site again and post the details...........Isn't it strange that no one from this site (administrators) in particular have not commented on my find! Does this mean I have found something close to what there are keeping so close to there chests?!!!!

Just bear in mind that those release dates are for the North American product not the UK/Europe one. _________________ Darren Griffin |

I see that there is absolutely no way we are going to get any information out of you and for that, i take my hat off to you for keeping it such a secret but you can't blame me or anyone else for trying!!!  |
