Provides Offline GPS Navigation for Safe Routing of Recreational Vehicles and Motorhomes

Princeton, NJ – March 23, 2016 – ALK Technologies, a Trimble Company and global leader in GeoLogistics® and navigation software, today announced CoPilot® RV, an offline navigation app for drivers of large Recreational Vehicles (RVs) and motorhomes.

“We’ve taken a great deal of care to create a CoPilot GPS navigation app designed specifically for the unique navigation needs of RV and motorhome drivers,” said David Quin, VP consumer applications at ALK Technologies. “CoPilot RV is a powerful and affordable tool to navigate an RV or motorhome confidently throughout the U.S. and Canada, leaving users free to enjoy the drive without worrying about traveling on a restricted road or losing guidance in areas with spotty data coverage.”

The new app for smartphones and tablets enables users to take the strain out of driving an RV or motorhome by automatically generating customized routes based on vehicle size and class (height, weight and length).

Drivers can hit the road with confidence, knowing that CoPilot RV provides them with:

  • Route planning that avoids narrow local roads and prevents dangerous or costly run-ins with low bridges and other restricted roads
  • Clear, easy-to-follow directions designed to reduce driver distraction
  • Easy access to millions of useful pre-installed locations like campgrounds, rest areas and gas stations
  • Multi-stop itinerary builder with the ability to add up to 50 stops across the country, saving time and fuel costs
  • Voice-guided turn instructions, automatic route recalculation, advanced lane guidance at highway exits and intersections plus speed limit warnings when posted speed is exceeded
  • 12 months of real-time traffic service to help drivers avoid unexpected delays on routes
  • Free map updates of the U.S. and Canada

CoPilot RV’s detailed and comprehensive street maps of the U.S. and Canada are downloaded directly to a smartphone or tablet for offline use, eliminating the need for a mobile data network connection in remote areas.
