CoPilot Live Brings Truck-Specific GPS Navigation App to Android Phones
First-ever voice-guided GPS navigation app that offers truck-specific guidance and routing,
now available for Android Phones
Princeton, NJ – January 17, 2011 – ALK Technologies Inc. today announced the release of CoPilot Live Truck for Android phones, the first voice-guided GPS navigation app designed specifically for professional drivers of trucks and other large commercial vehicles. Unlike consumer navigation apps, CoPilot Live Truck provides safe and reliable routes on truck-legal roads throughout North America. It automatically calculates routes based on vehicle size, weight, width and load type to avoid commercial truck restrictions.
Avoids low bridge heights and clearances and weight/height/width-restricted roads
Avoids Hazmat or flammable materials-restricted roads as appropriate
Efficient routing options include Practical, Shortest, 53’/102” Trailer or Twins, National Network and Toll Avoidance
Ability to create custom route profiles for easy switching between vehicles
Generate state mileage logs to provide an accurate record for billing and tax calculation
Based on the award-winning CoPilot Live GPS navigation apps, it features multi-stop routing and route optimization enhanced with industry standard
PC*MILER truck-specific attributes. Complete street-level maps of North America are stored directly on the iPhone, not downloaded each trip,
so there is no need to rely on a mobile internet connection for navigation.
Millions of useful Points of Interest for professional drivers are pre-installed, including truck services, truck stops, rest areas and weigh stations and
CAT Scales.
CoPilot Live Truck USA & CAN is available to purchase from the Android Market immediately for a one-time cost of $149.99.
