CoPilot Live adding free in-app search

The makers of CoPilot Live North America are including free search from within its iPhone app. Previously the search function was a premium add-on.

CoPilot Live is $34.99 with most of the features users expect, like turn by turn voice directions, 2D and 3D driving views and U.S. plus Canada Maps.

According to the company, CoPilot Live v8's integrated access to local search enables users to quickly and easily find whatever they are looking for, whether it's the nearest service, product, brand or shop. Search results are displayed in the on-screen map or as a list.

The integrated search will be a free update for current customers, but the company has not given us a certain date for availability pending approval from Apple.

We've looked at the app before, and found it pretty useful. Users at the App Store give it mixed ratings. It should be more competitive now with integrated search, and it's nice to see GPS prices in general dropping.

Another unhappy CoPilot owner here. $35 gone. I didn't find any problems with the gps speed, the maps themselves. The problem - pure and simple - completely inaccurate turn by turn navigation. The weirdest part is that much of the time the map is actually right visually but the turn by turn does not follow. Example, Augusta GA, Turn by Turn tells me to take a ramp; there's an overpass crossing a road but no way to exit yet I'm told to "turn left" on that road. To their credit, you can report problems and supposidly CoPilot will update these kind of errors. But I don't want a full-time, volunteer job fixing these kinds of mistakes. This app didn't work correctly in South Carolina, Georgia, Hawaii or California.

So, free in-app search. Big deal.

I also have Copilot, and switched to Magellan because Copilot doesn't recognize that my home address exists, is generally out of date in its mapping and doesn't pick good routes. They claim that they will take user corrections, but didn't take mine (after about 5 months). Copilot isn't dependable enough to be worth buying at this point. Magellan actually works properly.
