CoPilot version 8 has been released for Windows Mobile and Android handsets, and the company's calling it "the most powerful CoPilot yet".It's designed for GPS-equipped touchscreen handsets, and adds a selection of new features. They include clearer guidance at complicated junctions, a speed limit indicator that alerts you if you exceed the limit, 3D landmarks for points of interest and a text-to-speech voice system that pronounces full street names.
There's also a walking mode, phone integration and speed camera alerts, along with "live" services that include weather, traffic, and fuel price data. There's also the ability to track your CoPilot-owning friends, like Google's "Latitude" service.
CoPilot is £26 with unlimited use, though some of the extra features above cost extra. It's available now for Android and Windows Mobile, and UK iPhone and iPod Touch owners can also get a version in the App Store for their devices. Soon it'll be buyable on SD card or DVD installer from high street retailers, too. Car And GPS, CoPilot, Android, GPS software, Android Market, Apps, Windows Mobile, Google, Latitude
