IF this is indeed a cost upgrade for a new app and the map that accompanies it I really can't see it doing too well with existing iPhone users once Apple approve it.

This will be the first app to require a re-purchase for the app due to an upgrade, I bet the other nav app suppliers will watch this very closely, so you get to purchase the new app and they pay even more via subscription for the new features such as traffic.

I think they have got their cost model totally wrong with this one if, indeed its a purchase only update for the iPhone - Mike

I've just purchased this as an upgrade to CoPilot Live V8 as it looked as if it had a few more features which made it an attractive purchase, especially for the offer price. After installing it on my Samsung Galaxy S2, I tried to add my personal POI's which I had previously used with Version 8. Could not get the premium version to accept any of my POI's or even discover any sort of editing for altering things. I have since uninstalled it and gone back to the Version 8 for which I have never had any problems. I have sent ALK an email to which I look forward a reply. VERY DISAPPOINTED. Crying or Very sad

Definate improvement over v8, feels much slicker than the old one. And they finally sorted out the importation of the PGPSW POI files. The directory name has changed slightly (now: /sdcard/com.alk.copilit.eumarket.premiumeumaj/save/) but you can upload all the data files in one go and CoPilot will import all of them now! Very Happy

Added bonus that you can actually read the camera warning when it comes up too. Shocked

I have been waiting for this new Co Pilot. Previously used Live 8 on a windows mobile and rather liked it. Now have an Android Phone. I want to take advantage of the discount. But where is the Europe Version on the Android Market? I can only find the UK and Ireland version. Is it there yet? I have searched but can't see it. There doesn't appear to be any tarce of the Europe Version. Anybody got any clues?

I cant seem to find anywhere what the difference is between the Standard and Premium editions. I have just bought Premium UK (I am sure there was a standard UK yesterday for about £2 although it isn't there now) and there is a Standard USA version for about £2 that I am thinking of getting as a cheap way of getting the US maps but I cant see what the difference is between versions. Question

Premium is essentially v9. All non-premium versions are the older v8.

Premium is aground up re-write, new UI, new application, new engine.
